Ph.D. Student in Government

I am a Ph.D. student studying American politics and modern political theory. My research focuses on elections, public opinion, redistricting, and the American founding. I earned a master’s degree in political science at Columbia University, where I served as a Teaching Assistant at Barnard College in a course on American elections. As a Teaching Fellow at Harvard, I have taught The American Presidency (Fall 2021; Fall 2022) and Race in a Polarized America (Spring 2022; Spring 2023). My recent professional experience includes consulting on redistricting efforts in Arizona, Florida, New York, and Wisconsin.
