I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Politics at Princeton University. I study comparative politics, with a regional focus on eastern Europe. My dissertation analyzes the long-term political consequences of violence in the region. In other ongoing research projects, I study revolutions, public opinion, and local governance. During AY 2025-26 I am a Good Authority fellow.

I hold a BA in Government (summa cum laude) and an MA in Regional Studies: Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, both from Harvard University; an MPhil in Politics and International Studies (with distinction) from the University of Cambridge; and an MA in Politics from Princeton.

I speak Russian (fluent), Spanish (fluent), Ukrainian (advanced), Romanian (advanced) and Estonian (beginner). I have lived as an exchange student in Russia, Moldova, and Cuba, but I am a proud native Bostonian.

My hobbies include pickling, running, watching minor league baseball (#ClawsUp), and open water swimming with my twin sister Camille.
