Assistant Professor of Political Science

University of Colorado Boulder

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan. Prior to my doctoral education, I received a BA in Economics and Political Science with a minor in Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2010. My research was funded by three distinct grants from the National Science Foundation, the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), the Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW) in partnership with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), and the Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants, and the Humane Studies Fellowship. I study comparative and international political economy with a particular focus on the political economy of international migration. I am broadly interested in the causes and consequences of international migration and migration policies.
