About

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in Political Science 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 the Journal of Conflict Resolution; International Studies Quarterly; International Interactions; Conflict Management and Peace Science; Terrorism and Political Violence; 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.
