I am a co-author of Information Resolution and Subnational Capital Finance (Oxford University Press 2021) and State and Local Financial Instruments: Policy Changes and Management, 2nd Ed. (Edward Elgar Publishing 2021). In my work, it is not uncommon to assess the impact of financial factors on organizational outcomes, as well as the impact of organizational factors on financial outcomes. Outside of the United States, I conducted research and taught in Eastern Europe & the Caucasus, Central Asia, South East Asia, and Australia.

Before my doctorate studies, I managed and consulted on data collection and survey research projects (e.g., the World Values Survey (WVS) in the Kırgız Republic). I also served as the deputy director for the Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Academy in Bishkek and worked as a media monitoring analyst (quantitative coding of print, TV, and radio content) as part of the OSCE's election observation teams during the parliamentary elections (2000 & 2005) in the Kırgız Republic.
