Welcome! I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science at Purdue University. Prior to Purdue, I completed an M.A. at Columbia University’s Committee on Global Thought in 2023. I earned my B.S. in International Economics from Texas Christian University, graduating with Departmental Honors.
My primary research interests center on international political economy, specifically the dynamics of development strategies, state-market relations, and global financial governance. In this line of work, I examine how institutional structures, regime types, and sectoral interests drive economic outcomes, such as exchange rate policies. A second strand of my research investigates the evolving authority of international organizations in the context of technological change and digital governance. Here, I explore how digital infrastructures have reshaped governance models at both national and transnational levels. Across these projects, I aim to inform institutional design and promote inclusive global development.
Methodologically, I take a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative techniques, such as time-series cross-sectional designs and survey analysis, with qualitative strategies including interviews and ethnographic observation. I have received advanced methodological training from the ICPSR Summer Program and bring computational proficiency in both R and Python, which I actively apply across multiple research projects.
