I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Starting Fall 2024, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Ohio State University. I study American politics, with a focus on interest groups and bureaucratic politics. 

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University in the 2022-23 academic year. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Rochester in 2022.
