About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in political science at the University of Chicago. My research focuses on international security, with an emphasis on the political economy of security and bureaucratic politics.
I am also interested in the politics of climate change and energy transitions.
Prior to starting my Ph.D., I worked at the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Partnership for Public Service.
