I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Emory University Political Science Department. My research interests include judicial politics, political institutions, and American politics.

More specifically, I study how institutional arrangements structure the strategic incentives of judicial decision-making in U.S. appellate courts. I am particularly interested in how the dynamics of majority formation and asymmetric information influence who wins and loses in court.

This academic year (2025–26), I am a visiting researcher in the Stanford University Department of Political Science and Hoover Institution. Last academic year (2024–25), I was a visiting graduate student in the University of Chicago Department of Political Science.

Previously, I graduated with a J.D. from the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
