Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science at McMaster University, and I am completing my PhD at the University of Minnesota. My dissertation project looks to uncover why countries reform public education, looking at things like party politics, electoral competition, and international factors.

I serve as Editorial Assistant for the American Political Science Review, and had the pleasure of serving as Managing Editor for Comparative Political Studies from 2016-2018. Prior to graduate school, I worked for two years for the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) in Santiago, Chile.
