About

I am currently an assistant professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.

I study issues related to international relations theory, U.S. foreign policy, and political methodology. My solo-authored research has been published in International Organization. A link to my google scholar page can be found here.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from The Ohio State University, where I was a Presidential Fellow, and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Connecticut. I previously held postdoctoral positions in the Department of Political Science at Duke University (2020-21), and Dartmouth’s Dickey Center for International Understanding (2021-22).
