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.

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.
