Welcome to my personal web site! Starting in August 2018, I am assistant professor of political science at Swarthmore College, having previously taught at the University of Utah. My research and teaching interests lie in the area of comparative politics, with a regional focus on Latin America and a substantive emphasis on electoral politics (both institutions and behavior) and political regimes. My second book, State Crisis in Fragile Democracies: Polarization and Political Regimes in South America, was published in July 2017 by Cambridge University Press.
