Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Affairs at Denison University. I specialize in international relations with an emphasis on international organizations. My research investigates the dynamics of nongovernmental organization (NGO) participation across and within intergovernmental organizations. I also research the domestic politics of international cooperation, which includes separate projects on alliance formation and bilateral investment treaties. I’ve published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution and Review of International Political Economy.

I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2023 and my BA in International Relations from Hendrix College in 2017.
