Biography

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Politics at the University of Virginia, with a focus on international relations and research methodology.

My research examines international bargaining dynamics from multiple angles. My dissertation investigates the impact of moral and legal language on public opinion, dispute escalation, and negotiation outcomes. My research also include projects on costly signals and crisis bargaining, gender and foreign policy, and the use of laboratory and survey experimental methods to examine topics ranging from political violence to public opinion toward the use of military force.
