​I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Studies at The College of New Jersey. I study international security, nuclear security, and security in the Asia-Pacific, with a regional focus on China and the Korean Peninsula.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania.
