Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Local Politics Lab at Harvard University. In 2027, I will begin as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Williams College. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University. I received my PhD from the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
My research is broadly focused on representation and local political economy. I study who holds power in American local governments, how they make decisions, and whose interests are reflected in policy. Another branch of my work explores attitudes about descriptive representation.
I am also part of a research team studying local decision-making. If you are here because you received an email from me, please consider participating!
