I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and the Thomas J. Pearsall Fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My research sits at the intersection of political economy and representation, with a focus on subnational governments in the United States.
I am on leave for AY25-26, based at the European University Institute.
My work has been recognized with the Susan Clarke Young Scholar Award by the APSA Urban Politics Section and the Emerging Scholar Award from the APSA American Political Economy Section. Before UNC, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University and received my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.
