Welcome to my website. I am currently the Research Director of the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University. In 2024, I received my PhD from the department of Political Science at Columbia University. Within American Politics, I study local Politics, partisan polarization, and racial and economic inequality.

​

My research interests are centered on the politics of inequality, both racial and economic. I am particularly interested in why American institutions fail to remedy, and sometimes even perpetuate, different forms of inequality. I am also interested in how extreme levels of affective polarization are upending some of the conventional wisdom about U.S. elections. My research has been published in the Harvard Data Science Review and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and is under review elsewhere.

Prior to completing my PhD, I received an MPP and a BA from the University of Chicago.
