I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Government at Harvard University. My research interests are in comparative politics and political methodology, with a focus on political parties and federalism in advanced industrial democracies. While at Harvard, I also received a M.A. in statistics from the Department of Statistics.

Before coming to Harvard, I received my B.A. in political science and economics from the University of Michigan. After graduating from Michigan, I spent a year at the London School of Economics as a Fulbright Scholar, receiving an M.Sc. in comparative politics.
