Hello! I am a second-year doctoral student in political science and public policy at the University of Michigan. I am also the 2025 Data Science Fellow with the Human Rights Data Analysis Group. My work applies computational methods to the study of human rights broadly construed, with a regional emphasis on the United States. Substantively, I am currently involved in projects concerning transnational protest and protest policing tactics; the organizational characteristics that influence administrative misconduct and reform in the North American criminal justice system; causes of death in Middle Eastern conflict settings; and the diffusion and social/economic effects of Jim Crow policies from Reconstruction through the Civil Rights era. Methodologically, I employ a variety of quantitative and computational approaches, including natural language processing/large-language models, machine learning for classification, time-series analysis, record linkage, and computer vision.

At Michigan, I am advised by Christian Davenport, Vince Hutchings, and Don Moynihan.

Prior to my studies at Michigan, I worked as a policy analyst at the UNC School of Government. I hold a Bachelor of Science in computer science, with a second major in political science, from UNC-Chapel Hill.
