About Me
I am a legal scholar and political scientist who studies American political economy. My research focuses on the politics of economic transformations in the United States. I study the ways in which the design of American government makes it difficult to implement ambitious economic reforms. I also study how voters, elected officials, courts, legal and economic professionals, and business interests influence economic policymaking. My current work also explores how economic ideology, and the law and economics movement, has caused policy to becomes less responsive to public demands.
I completed a MS degree in Technology and Policy at M.I.T. in 2016 and a PhD in Government and Social Policy at Harvard University in 2022. I currently work as a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University.
Before starting my graduate education, I completed a JD degree at UC Hastings College of the Law and worked for six years as an associate attorney at two Bay Area law firms where I specialized in intellectual property litigation.
