Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Government Department at Colby College and an associate in research (non-resident) at the Fairbank Center, Harvard University.

I received my PhD in Government from Cornell University in 2024.  I study economic statecraft, sanctions, and the domestic politics of international relations, with a focus on China. My current book project investigates the drivers and consequences of China's coercive economic statecraft. My work is published in the Review of International Political Economy, the Journal of Contemporary China, H-Diplo ISSF, Asian Studies Review,  and The Pacific Review. My writings on policy issues have appeared in The Washington Post’s Monkey Cage, The Brookings Institution, and Foreign Affairs magazine.

Previously, I have been a Global Political Economy Project Predoctoral Fellow at Georgetown University's Mortara Center for International Studies ('23-'24), a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at University of Notre Dame's International Security Center('23-'24), and an International Policy Scholars Consortium and Network (IPSCON) Junior Scholar ('22-'23) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. 

My research has received generous support from the Smith Richardson Foundation, Ruth C. Lawson Fellowships at Mount Holyoke College, Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, the Qualitative and Interpretive Research Institute and the Cornell Graduate School. Prior to Cornell, I received a B.A., magna cum laude, in Politics with Honors from Mount Holyoke College.
