I am a 2024-2025 Brady-Johnson Predoctoral Fellow in Grand Strategy in the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs and a Political Science Ph.D. Candidate (ABD, Expected June 2025) at The Ohio State University, with specializations in International Relations and Political Methodology. I am interested in the top-down and bottom-up determinants of coercion---specifically, how domestic politics, leaders, and time horizons affect foreign policy, and how structural conditions such as hierarchy and uncertainty affect the likelihood of war. I approach these questions using various methodologies, including survey experiments, statistical estimation, computational social science, as well as historical process tracing and archival research. My dissertation investigates the sources and consequences of time horizons in foreign policy decision-making. I theorize the conditions under which leaders possess short- versus long- time horizons to explore how and why they uphold or abandon costly foreign policies. I examine these time preferences using survey experiments, large-N statistical analysis, and archival research of presidential decision-making. Please click here to learn more about my book project. My co-authored research has been published in The American Journal of Political Science. Previously, I was a 2023-2024 Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the Notre Dame International Security Center and a Graduate Student Fellow at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies. I am also a member of the Modeling Emergent Social Order (MESO) Lab at Ohio State. I received my M.A. in Political Science from Indiana University Bloomington in 2018, and a B.A. in political science and biology (with high honors) from Hofstra University in 2016.
