I am a first-year Political Theory candidate at University College. I am interested in the deliberative democracy, the politics of information intake, and how longstanding and stable democracies might be stressed or capitalise on modern technological developments.

Prior to Oxford, I graduated with distinction from the United States Naval Academy with a BS in Honors Political Science. I wrote an honors thesis titled "Deliberative Stability" which examined how deliberation might offer something other than procedural legitimacy or epistemically superior decisions and was awarded the departmental prize for 'Best Honors Thesis.'
