Hello! I am a PhD student in Political Science at American University, specializing in Comparative Politics. My research agenda focuses on civil society and politics in post-communist Europe & Eurasia.

I have written grant funded papers for institutional repositories, and co-wrote a policy option paper that was given to the US Department of State. In addition, I am fortunate to have been the recipient of a number of scholarships and awards to support the advancement of both my research and education, including Fulbright, FLAS, Title VIII, as well as а full funding to attend ICPSR at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I received my BA from Gettysburg College, as well as two MA degrees from George Washington University

I am on Twitter and Blue Sky. I also enjoy sharing the highlights of my academic journey via Instagram and Substack. I can schedule meetings via Calendly. Views my own.
