Bio
Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in Political Science and PhD candidate-in-residence with the Institute of Security and Conflict Studies at the George Washington University in Washington, DC. In summer 2020, I will join the U.S. Air Force Academy as an Assistant Professor of Military & Strategic Studies.
My research on the causes and consequences of violence has been supported by the United States Institute of Peace, the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Cosmos Club Foundation, the Bridging the Gap Project, the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace, the Les Aspin ’60 Summer Fellowship, and the Georg W. Leitner Program in International and Comparative Political Economy at Yale.
Before beginning my doctoral work, I served four years on Capitol Hill including as a Senior Legislative Assistant and Appropriations Associate, and I have worked as a policy advisor on presidential and congressional campaigns.
In my spare time, I love to hike, cook, and travel. I have completed several marathons and half-Ironman triathlons, and I am an indoor cycling instructor (Spinning(R), Coach-by-Color(R), and CPR/AED certified).
