Hello!

Welcome to my website. I am a first-year PhD student in Politics at Princeton University. My research interests are in legislative institutions, political elite behavior, and the impact of party cues on public opinion.

I received my BA in Political Science from the University of Western Ontario in 2023. Before coming to Princeton, I worked on Parliament Hill as part of the Parliamentary Internship Programme.
