Welcome to my website!
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Cornell University. My research centers around peacebuilding, regime transitions, and post-conflict reconstruction.
My dissertation focuses on the role of international actors in post-conflict peacebuilding processes. More specifically, it seeks to understand how the involvement of peacebuilding missions in rebuilding a given post-conflict institution, including the judiciary, media, and security sector, affects how the public relates to that institution. It combines a macro-level study of all post-Cold War UN and regional peacebuilding missions with country-specific, micro-level analyses (survey and personal interviews) in post-conflict Kosovo.
I grew up in Crosby, Minnesota, a former mining community in the north of the state with a deep national history and strong international ties. I enjoy skiing, swimming, weight training, and baking in my free time, and I am forever in search of the best potato-based recipe.
