I am a political scientist currently serving as postdoctoral research associate at the University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs. I recently received my doctorate from Columbia University.. The main focus of my work is understanding inequality in access to public services and legal protection. Ongoing and future research considers how and when immigrants use public services; why local governments distribute resources unevenly; the determinants of property tax compliance; and the historical origins of land tenure regimes.

Methodologically, I use computational and geospatial tools to parse novel sources of administrative data. My work combines modern causal inference techniques, machine learning and network analysis, and qualitative process-tracing help to isolate causal mechanisms. Additionally, I study the takeup and impacts of experimental interventions under noncompliance. 

Please send me an email if you may be interested in collaborating on projects related to local public service access, land politics, migration, or historical political economy.

Conference travel: In the next several months, I will be attending and presenting at the USC Historical Political Economy Conference.
