I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During the 2025-2026 academic year, I am a Predoctoral Fellow in the International Security Program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

My research focuses on wartime decision-making, military strategy and operations, and civil-military relations. I am a member of the MIT Security Studies Program, and my research has received support from the MIT Center for International Studies and from the Smith-Richardson Foundation.

Before starting at MIT, I worked from 2017 to 2019 as a researcher and writer in the Office of the Deputy Inspector General for Overseas Contingency Operations, focusing on the counter-ISIS campaign in Iraq and Syria. I earned my A.B. from Harvard University in 2017 in History.

Outside of my academic work, I am an avid film enthusiast, and I write short reviews of movies which can be found here. I also enjoy books and bookstores, running, and spending time with friends, and family. If you have questions about me or my work, please be in touch!
