Welcome! I am an Agora Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. I received my Ph.D. with departmental distinction in Political Science from Yale University in May 2026. I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market.
I study American politics, with a focus on representation, public opinion, and political behavior. My current research agenda addresses three interrelated questions: To what extent does state-level policy align with state-level public preferences, and when and why does it diverge? Do Americans have meaningful preferences on these policies? And can life events or external forces change those preferences?
My research has been conditionally accepted or published in the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Public Opinion Quarterly, Political Behavior, and American Politics Research.
Before graduate school, I worked at the Boston Consulting Group and received my B.A. in Political Science and Spanish from the University of Pennsylvania.
