I am a Lecturer and Associate Director of the Capstone Program at Stanford University. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University.

In my research, I employ quantitative data analysis to study a variety of topics in comparative and subnational political economy, from public opinion and political behavior to the determinants and implications of public policy. Some of the research questions I have explored include: When does a society tax the rich? When do governments enforce taxation and how does it affect the fiscal contract? How do subnational policymakers interact with local communities?

​

My teaching covers both substantive and methodological areas: from European politics, public policy, and the comparative politics of redistribution, to quantitative methods, statistical coding, and research design.
