I am a first year PhD student and Presidential Scholar at the Harvard Kennedy School, studying Public Policy, focusing on politics and institutions. I am a behavioralist focused on the United States, and my research has mainly focused on the political behavior of identity (broadly construed). This has taken the form of research on disability political identity, rural political identity and race and ethnic politics. I am also interested in the political geography of elections and how geography plays a role in our politics.
Before my PhD, I graduated in 2024 from Dartmouth College with majors in Government and Music, and I spent the 2025-2026 year on a US/UK Fulbright Grant, obtaining a MSc in Political Science at the University of Leeds.
Outside the classroom, you can find me doing something musical, cooking, or watching a baseball (go Cards!), hockey (go Blues!), tennis (go Americans!), or soccer (up the Toffees!) game.
