​I am an assistant professor of political science and international studies at The College of New Jersey. I specialize in international security, nuclear security, and security in the Asia-Pacific, with a regional focus on China and the Korean peninsula.

My research is published or forthcoming in Security Studies, The Washington Quarterly, and International Relations of the Asia-Pacific​, among other outlets. Prior to joining TCNJ, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and a Stanton Nuclear Security postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania.
