Welcome

I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis. Additionally, I am an Editorial Assistant for Replication at Political Analysis.

I study modern and contemporary state building, conflict, and public opinion. Particularly, I focus on the political effects of human geography and state presence. Methodologically, I use spatial statistics, geospatial analysis, network analysis, and survey experiments. My research has been published in International Studies Quarterly and conditionally accepted at the Journal of Experimental Political Science.

I hold a M.A. degree (en passant) in Political Science from Washington University, and a B.S. degree summa cum laude in Mathematics (Honors) and Political Economy (Honors) from Georgetown University.

I am also a violinist. I was concertmaster of the Georgetown University Orchestra (2021-2022) and a first violinist with the award-winning University of North Carolina Symphony Orchestra (2019-2020).
