I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Niehaus Center, Princeton University. I study international and comparative political economy. My research integrates economic geography into political economy models of policy preferences and electoral politics. I am especially interested in the politics of trade, redistribution, and economic change.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Stanford University in 2024, and an M.A. in Economics from Stanford in 2022. I graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College in 2018 with an A.B. in History.

Beginning July 2025 I will be a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London.
