Welcome! This summer, I will start a position as a postdoctoral fellow with the Consortium on the American Political Economy (CAPE) and will be based at the American Political Economy Exchange at Yale University’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies. I completed my Ph.D. in political science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2025) and hold an M.A. in Politics from New York University.

My research focuses on the distributive effects of state and market relations. Namely, I am interested in questions that explore how different state and market institutions affect economic inequality, political preferences, and policy outcomes. Regionally, I am interested in the political economies of the rich, postindustrial democracies of North America and Europe. My work incorporates a variety of methodological approaches, including novel econometric and machine learning techniques, qualitative historical analysis, and survey experiments.

In my dissertation, I explore the political consequences of privatization on accountability and find that certain forms of economic liberalization can serve as a bulwark against electoral responses to undesirable distributional developments. In a forthcoming Journal of European Social Policy paper, my co-authors and I test competing theories of redistribution using an original dataset of household income which we constructed by harmonizing several sources of micro-data on income.
