Welcome! I am a political scientist and I study environmental and climate politics, asking questions about public opinion, institutions, and state power. I usually research Global South contexts, and I have spent much time in and researching Brazil and Mexico. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) where I work on the Climate Vulnerability Project. I received my Ph.D. in Government from the University of Texas at Austin in December 2023. From March to December 2022, I was a Fulbright Award recipient to Brazil, where I did expert interviews and other fieldwork for my dissertation in Brasília and the Amazon basin.
Prior to graduate school, I studied political science and mathematics in college. I also worked for a medical non-profit throughout Latin America. When not teaching, writing, or doing fieldwork, I like to run, hike, and ski.
