I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University specializing in Political Theory and Public Law. For the 25-26 academic year, I will serve as a law clerk for the Hon. Judge Robert Sack of the Second Circuit. I earned a JD at the University of Virginia School of Law and an MA in Legal and Political Theory at University College London.

My primary research interests are in free speech, U.S. constitutional theory and law, and philosophy of law. In my dissertation, Governing Through Speech, I present a novel forum-based approach to free speech according to which the content and scope of our speech rights depend on the forum in which we are speaking. I argue that this forum-based approach better fits with existing practice but that it also better realizes the values underlying free speech, especially that of self-governance. My work has appeared in the San Diego Law Review and Res Publica, among other venues.
