Research Interest

Originally from Toronto Canada, I earned my BA in History at McGill University in Montreal. My engagement with political science and history courses sparked my curiosity in democracy development and post-colonial democracies. My research interest spans the Atlantic World, where I aim to unravel the intricate interplay between cultures, societies, and economies. I am additionally intrigued by how historiography shapes and reshapes political landscapes and influences the distribution and exercise of power. Although my research interests are broad, at Columbia and the LSE, I am keen to explore nation-building and democracy development in the Atlantic World with a focus on civil rights.
