I am a PhD candidate in the Travers Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, where I am affiliated with the Berkeley Center for American Democracy, the Jack Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research, and the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues. During the 2025-26 academic year, I will be a visiting research affiliate in the Department of Sociology at New York University.

One line of my research examines how transformations in the American political economy have reconfigured civil society and the conditions for democratic participation. Using a mixed method approach, my dissertation investigates non-traditional forms of civic engagement, the organizations that sustain them, and the broader conditions under which such organizations emerge and generate political power, drawing on the case of grassroots activist collectives in the United States.

In addition to this, I also conduct applied computational and experimental research on political behavior and collective decision-making. I have collaborated with the Forecasting Research Institute on a logitudinal group forecasting tournament, the Center for Radical Innovation for Social Change in the development of X's "community notes", and Berkeley’s D-Lab, where I served as a Data Science Fellow during the 2024-25 academic year.

I received an M.A. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley (2024) with a concentration in American Politics. I received a B.A. in Politics (with Honors) and Sociology from New York University (2022), where I worked as a research assistant at The Center for Social Media and Politics. I was also previously an APSA Ralph Bunche Summer Institute Scholar (2021).
