I am currently a Research Scientist at Meta. Prior to joining Meta, I received a Ph.D. in political science at Stanford University.
My research studies the political economy of elections and voting behavior in the United States, focusing on how and when individuals choose to participate in politics, and how these factors contribute to inequality in political participation and representation.
I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 with a B.A. in Political Science and Economics.
