I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Utah. I was previously a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. I study the political economy of representation and redistribution in advanced democracies, with a particular interest in distributive politics, inequality, and urban politics.

My book project examines the consequences of descriptive representation across European cities, focusing on how the political geography of representation shapes public spending and redistribution. My broader research explores democratic innovations and non-programmatic forms of political exchange, including clientelism and patronage.
