About

Welcome! I am a Lecturer in Political Science at the University of British Columbia and an incoming Assistant Professor of comparative politics at the College of the Holy Cross.

My research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, international relations, and political methodology. I examine how governments, international organizations, and third-party states respond to political violence, whether through repression, cooption, containment, or conflict resolution strategies. I study how these responses shape post-conflict governance and security using multi-method research designs.

My work has been published or is forthcoming in Journal of Conflict Resolution; International Studies Quarterly; Conflict Management and Peace Science; International Interactions; and International Peacekeeping, among others. You can find my Google Scholar page here and my CV here.

I speak seven languages and have done field research in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Outside academia, I am a triathlete and care deeply about environmental degradation, which is apparent first and foremost in our mountains and lakes.
