About

I am currently a Lecturer in Politics in the Department of European & International Affairs at King's College London.  I received my Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University. 

My research has been published or is forthcoming in academic journals such as the Socio-Economic Review, Comparative Political Studies, Regulation & Governance and European Union Politics

I have extensive experience working as a policy practitioner in both domestic and international contexts, 

and remain an active participant in contemporary public policy debates.

 

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking and volunteering as an election observer with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
