Welcome! I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Center for Effective Lawmaking, the University of Virginia. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy in 2025.


My research centers on the role of elections and political information in holding elected representatives accountable in democratic politics. I apply econometric methods for causal inference to understand how elections affect elected officials’ behavior, with a particular focus on legislators' policy positions and legislative productivity.
