Welcome! I am currently a Grand Strategy, Security, and Statecraft Fellow at Harvard University and a Political Science PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. My academic research has been published or is forthcoming in International Organization, Journal of Conflict Resolution, International Studies Quarterly, and Conflict Management and Peace Science. You can also find my policy commentary in Foreign Affairs, Washington Post, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Defense One, and Political Violence at a Glance.
My research focuses on questions related to reputation for resolve, gender, threat credibility, drones, weapons of mass destruction, and climate change. Should countries go to war in order to maintain or bolster their reputation for resolve? What impact will greater female leadership in the U.S. and around the world have on international politics? Why and how does military technology spread? What factors impact support for the use of weapons of mass destruction?
Before starting a PhD program, I graduated from the George Washington University summa cum laude with a double major in Economics and Political Science. During that time, I interned with the State Department and the United States Senate.
