WELCOME!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Zurich (Chair of International Relations and International Political Economy). I earned a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in June 2021. My research interests lie at the intersection of international political economy, international organizations, and domestic politics.

​

My dissertation examines the dynamics among the International Monetary Fund (IMF), mass public in a borrower country, and international investors. The dissertation received the Best Dissertation Award in IR by the Department of Political Science at UW-Madison in 2021. My core arguments and the findings from one chapter are accepted for publication at Comparative Political Studies. I am currently working on a book project based on the dissertation.

Prior to starting my Ph.D., I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University with double BAs in Political Science and Economics. I also worked as a corporate strategist at a financial firm.
