I am a PhD student in the Department of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park. I research how small- and middle-sized countries leverage their economic power. I am also an adjunct with the RAND Corporation, where I research critical minerals supply chain vulnerabilities and opportunities for international cooperation in this space.

Prior to starting my PhD, I worked on the Global Peace Index with the Institute for Economics and Peace, as an analyst with the Australian Department of Defence, and on the Asia Power Index with the Lowy Institute.
