Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of European Politics and Political Economy (with tenure) at Leiden University's Institute of Political Science. My main research interests are interest group politics, climate and trade policy, and European politics, broadly defined.

My current book project examines how the emergence of corporate social responsibility influences the democratic governance of capitalism. Specifically, I explore how firms adjust their climate lobbying when they face pressure from consumers and investors. To do so, I draw on a variety of methodological tools, including data analysis, computational text analysis, survey experiments, and qualitative case studies. My Ph.D. dissertation, which the book builds on, won the 2024 Virgina M. Walsh Dissertation Award for the best dissertation in the field of Science, Technology and Environmental Politics from the APSA STEP Section.

My work has been supported by the Climate Social Sciences Network, the Leiden University Fund, the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship, the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, The Europe Center at the Freeman Spogli Institute, and the Stanford Graduate Research Opportunities Grant. I am a member of the Climate Social Science Network, as well as the 2022 cohort of the International Policy Scholars Consortium and Network.

Prior to coming to Leiden, I received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Stanford University. I also hold an MA in International Affairs and International Economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University. After my BA, I spent a year studying Japanese in Fukuoka, Japan.

When I am not researching or teaching, I enjoy taking dance classes and long walks with my Corgi.
