Hello! I’m an incoming Postdoctoral Researcher in the Charles and Louise Travers Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2025, I will join the department as an Assistant Professor. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Government at Harvard University, where I was a James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Ph.D. Scholar in Inequality and Wealth Concentration at the Harvard Kennedy School.
My research agenda seeks to understand how political institutions structure the behavior of racial minorities and members of marginalized communities in American politics. This includes studying the role of election administration, legislative organizations, and policy design. My work embodies a mixed-method approach, employing techniques for causal inference, interviews, and formal theory. My scholarship is published or is conditionally accepted at the American Political Science Review, Political Behavior, the Journal of Public Economic Theory, and has been featured in major media outlets including FiveThirtyEight / ABC News.
