I am a lecturer at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and a member of the Research Group on Institutions and Political Actors within the Department of Political Science at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona, Spain. I obtained my Ph.D. from UPF in November 2022. I was awarded the first Andorran scholarship, called Consell de la Terra, for my research on the process of political professionalization in small-scale democracies: a comparative study of European micro-states. My research interests include comparative politics, political elites, political parties, and territorial politics.  My work has been published in Party Politics, Government and Opposition, South European Society and Politics, and Parliament, Estates and Representation.
