Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Policy in the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. My research interests include the politics of criminal justice policy, racial and ethnic politics, and bureaucratic politics. I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University’s Department of Government and my B.A. in Statistics from Harvard College.
My research has appeared or is forthcoming in the American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, the American Sociological Review, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, The Journal of Law and Economics, Urban Affairs Review, the Yale Law Journal, and the American Criminal Law Review. I am currently working on a book project charting the causes and consequences of the rise of progressive prosecutors in the United States.
In Fall 2022, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Harvard Law School. In Spring 2024, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at New York University Law School. From 2019 to 2025, I was an Assistant Professor of Law in the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.
