Welcome! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University, specializing in International Relations. For the 2023-2024 academic year, I am serving as a Predoctoral Research Fellow with the Managing the Atom Project and the International Security Program at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. My research interests include strategic narratives, nuclear strategy, arms control, and US foreign policy. My dissertation studies the politics of strategic change and the emergence of strategic narratives, focusing on the evolution of narratives about nuclear weapons and deterrence in US foreign policy. My work has been published in the European Journal of International Security. In 2021-2022, I was a Hans J. Morgenthau fellow in Grand Strategy at the University of Notre Dame. Prior to enrolling at Columbia, I graduated from Wellesley College with degrees in Political Science and Mathematics.
