About me

I am a fourth year PhD candidate at Cornell University’s Department of Government. Broadly, my research interests include public policy, inequality, and race and ethnic politics within the realm of American politics. I hold a BA in political science from CUNY Macaulay Honors College at the College of Staten Island and an MPP from Brown University. Prior to enrolling at Cornell, I worked as a policy analyst for the Office of the Inspector General for the NYPD and as a consultant for nonprofit organizations serving unhoused individuals and families.

To date, my work has been graciously supported by the American Political Science Association, the Einaudi Center for International Studies, the PRICE Initiative, the American Planning Association, and the Cornell Graduate School.
