I’m an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My research examines international organizations and global governance. I am particularly interested in issues of monitoring, compliance, and market-driven enforcement. My book The Bankers’ Blacklist: Unofficial Market Enforcement and the Global Fight against Illicit Financing (Cornell University Press, Jan 2022) was short-listed for the BISA IPEG book prize. My research has been published in International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, The Review of International Organizations, and Journal of Politics.
I received an MPA and PhD from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, and an AB from Duke University. At Princeton, I received two competitive fellowships: the Prize Fellowship in Social Sciences and the Harold W. Dodds Fellowship. Prior to arriving at UCSB, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Browne Center for International Politics at the University of Pennsylvania. Before academia, I worked as an intelligence analyst at the FBI and as a Presidential Management Fellow at the State Department, where I served in INR and on the sanctions team at the US Mission to the UN.
I was recently awarded the Robert A. Belfer International Affairs Fellowship in European Security from the Council on Foreign Relations. I will spend Jan-June 2025 in Oxford studying artificial intelligence, security, and global governance.
