I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Oakland University (OU). I earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of Colorado in 2016. I also hold an MA in International Relations from the Australian National University and a BA in Government and English Literature from St. Lawrence University.  

My research interests cross the subfields of international political economy and international organizations. My work typically investigates the causes, design features, and consequences of international institutions. 

I have diverse teaching interests, and offer a variety of courses within OU's International Relations and Political Science majors. These include: Intro to International Relations, International Political Economy, International Law, and Data Analysis in Political Science. 

I serve as faculty advisor to OU's award-winning Model UN team, and also teach a complementary Model UN course each semester. OU's team ranks among the most decorated in the state of Michigan.
