About

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Swarthmore College teaching International Relations and Comparative Politics. I earned my PhD in Government (International Relations) from Georgetown University in 2024. I research how propaganda, ideology, and subversion shape great power competition. My dissertation/book project explores when, why, and how the US and UK used propaganda in peacetime since 1918.

I’m published in International Studies Quarterly, Foreign Affairs, and E-International Relations. Previously, I was a Predoctoral Research Fellow/Visiting Scholar at the George Washington University’s Institute for Security and Conflict Studies, a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the Notre Dame International Security Center, a Jill Hopper Memorial Fellow at Georgetown, and an Ambassador for Georgetown’s PhD pipeline program, the Predoctoral Summer Institute. Besides my PhD, I hold an MA in International Relations from Georgetown, and a BS in Political Science (History minor) from Towson University.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, running, music, old video games, and making fancy sodas and cocktails from homemade components.
