Welcome! I'm a postdoctoral fellow and applied policy analyst at William & Mary's Global Research Institute. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science, with a focus on International Relations and Political Methodology, from Indiana University Bloomington.

Much of my current research examines how external interventions reshape patterns of governance, political violence, and international economic relations and has been published in well-regarded academic outlets, including International Studies Quarterly, World Development, and Cambridge University Press.

Before focusing on academic research and applied policy analysis, I served as an AmeriCorps volunteer and taught in China, Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan. I currently reside in Williamsburg, Virginia.
