I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science (Public Law). I study high courts, judicial independence, and judicial behavior in North America and Europe using quantitative and mixed methods approaches. My work has appeared in Democratization, and my dissertation won the Doctoral Prize in Political Science from Syracuse University.

I received a Ph.D. in political science from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, a master's degree from New York University, and a bachelor's degree from Pomona College in Claremont, California.
