Welcome.  I am a Zukerman Fellow and Predoctoral Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, and a Ph.D. candidate in political science at Columbia University.

My research interests span the issues of international politics, civil wars, statebuilding, post-conflict political development, and democratization. I previously spent several years working on these topics at policy and research organizations.

My dissertation documents and examines rebel governance in civil war and its effects on postwar political regimes.

I hold an MPA from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, and a BA in government and economics from Cornell University.
