Welcome! 

I'm a 2026-2027 Niehaus Postdoctoral Fellow at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University. I study international cooperation, migration governance, and the development of migration policy at home and abroad. I am on the job market for the 2026-2027 academic year. 

My current work explains when and why governments appropriate flexible migration policy to blunt the strength of political challengers, drawing on an original cross-national dataset of bilateral security Cooperation Arrangements on Migration (CAMs). Through this work, I examine the diffusion and political consequences of migration cooperation in international affairs and across the liberal international order. In related projects, I investigate the development of international migration cooperation in the Global South and the US.

Previously, I was an IGCC Dissertation Fellow at the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, a Visiting Fellow at the University of Mannheim's Centre for European Social Research (MZES), and a Junior Scholar with the International Policy Scholars Consortium and Network at Johns Hopkins SAIS. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of California San Diego, where I also obtained an M.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Political Science/Data Analytics.
