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.

Prior to joining Washington University, I was a Research Data Analyst at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. 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).
