Hi there. I'm a social scientist, a data and measurement enthusiast, and a justice nerd. As an academic political scientist, I focused on measuring and understanding political violence, mostly in civil war. I learned a lot, but a singularly important lesson was: in this realm, good quantitative measurement requires deep qualitative knowledge.

Since leaving academia in 2022 (to spend more time on research!), I've worked as a data scientist/quantitative researcher at Code for America, and performed quantitative consulting for Meta and the Jews of Color Initiative. As of early 2025, I am a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Fellow, researching account transfers between Medicaid and the health insurance marketplace. I live in Philadelphia with my family.

Questions? Drop me a line. You can also find my reasonably-current résumé here, or my academic CV here.
