Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in the Government department at Cornell University.  My dissertation examines why states pursue multilateral agreements to regulate various weapons, and how the motivations for doing so affect the design of agreements. More broadly, my research explores the politics of multilateral cooperation (especially on security issues) and the role of small states in international relations.

I am also the Janne Nolan Nuclear Security Visiting Fellow at the Truman Center. In this role, I lead the Truman Center’s policy engagement on nuclear issues.
