Welcome!
I'm an incoming Instructional Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Chapman University.
I study how American political institutions target and implement policies toward different identity groups. My book project examines the bureaucratic agencies overseeing immigration policy, and asks why different political actors prioritize between contrasting responsibilities of enforcement and service.
Previously, I was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School. Prior to graduate school, I worked for the Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project, the Harvard Digital Lab for the Social Sciences, and was a post-baccalaureate fellow in the Harvard Research Scholar Initiative.
I received by PhD in Government from Harvard University in 2026. In 2018, I graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a BA in Political Science, after transferring from Pasadena City College.
When not hunched over my PC, I enjoy: record collecting, film screenings, and photography.
