I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and a Research Assistant at the Arrighi Center for Global Studies.

My broad research areas are global sociology, comparative-historical sociology, international political economy, and sociology of development with thematic foci in historical capitalism, global inequality, class struggle, and the political-economy of war.

I have a B.A. in International Studies and Sociology from Johns Hopkins University, and I have formerly studied at the Universidad de la Habana in Havana, Cuba.
