I am a Ph.D. Candidate in political science at the University of Chicago. My research focuses on the domestic politics of international relations and democratic foreign policy behavior, with a regional focus on South Asia. I am especially interested in the triangular relationship between bureaucratic elites, leaders, and the public in democracies.
Formerly, I was a researcher at the Stimson Center’s South Asia program in Washington, DC. My commentary has been featured in Foreign Policy, The Washington Post’s Monkey Cage blog, War on the Rocks, The Wire, and The Diplomat. I hold a B.S. in International Studies from Indiana University and an M.A. in political science from the University of Chicago.
