Hey there! I was born and raised in Albany, New York. For my undergraduate studies, I graduated magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 2020 with a double major in Political Science and Growth and Structure of Cities. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Government at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a student of Zeynep Somer-Topcu and study electoral rules, voter behavior, and urban/immigration policy.
I have previously worked as a management consulting advisory associate at KPMG in Philadelphia, PA working with public sector organizations and at International IDEA in Stockholm, Sweden assessing democracy around the globe. I get excited by new, unsolved questions and enjoy searching for potential answers in our ever-changing world!
