​​I am an Academy Scholar at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.  ​I study comparative politics, political economy and political methodology, with a regional focus on Latin America.

My dissertation research centers broadly on religion and politics, focusing on how religious ideas shape the electoral influence of religious actors. 

I am a Research Associate at the Center on the Politics of Development. I was previously a Penn Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Political Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania (2016-2017 academic year) and a Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Global Religion Research Initiative of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame.
