I am an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department at Florida State University.

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.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Political Science from Emory University in 2026. During graduate school, I held visiting positions at the Stanford University Department of Political Science and Hoover Institution as well as 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.
