I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis. My research focuses on elections and representation in American politics, exploring how electoral institutions across levels of government shape the behavior of voters and elites. I use a variety of data, such as administrative records, surveys, and survey experiments, to study both mass political behavior and elite decision-making.

Prior to joining WashU, I completed a B.A. and M.A. in Economics at the University of Melbourne.
