I am an LSE Fellow in IPE in the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics.

I was previously a Global Political Economy Project predoctoral fellow in the Mortara Center for International Studies at Georgetown University. I defended my dissertation in the Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the summer of 2024.

I specialise in international relations with an emphasis on political economy. My research focuses on questions of trade and immigration, with a specific interest in international institutions, domestic politics, firm behaviour, and public opinion. My work has been published in the Journal of Politics and the British Journal of Political Science.
