I am an urban anthropologist interested in youth, violence, organized crime, activism, and informal housing in Latin America.
I am currently a Research Fellow at the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding of the Geneva Graduate Institute and a Research Associate at the Urban Hub of the Université de Genève. I hold a PhD and a Post-Doc from the University of Oxford.
My first book project consists in an ethnographic exploration of adolescents’ engagement into narco-gangs in Medellín’s urban margins. I am now conducting new research on the Venezuelan migration, informal housing and organized crime in Colombia.
Before joining the Graduate Institute, I worked for several years in the humanitarian sector. I am also the author of ethnographic photo series and participatory films co-produced with young people.
