I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California (USC)’s Department of Political Science and International Relations. In 2023-2024, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University’s Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP). I received my Ph.D. from the Wilf Family Department of Politics at New York University.

My research interests are bureaucratic and interest group politics in the United States. My current research focuses on strategic interactions between bureaucracies and organized interests in settings such as government contracts, regulatory enforcement and government welfare provisions. My work leverages a range of research designs and data sources, including game theory and causal inference methods for observational data. My work has been published or is forthcoming in Journal of Politics and PS: Political Science and Politics.
