I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in Political Science at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. I received my Ph.D. in political science from Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University at Albany, SUNY. I study comparative politics and international relations with a regional focus on East and Southeast Asia. My dissertation project examines the interplay of social movement framing and political opportunity structures in the context of anti-US-military movements in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

Prior to obtaining my Ph.D., I received my B.A. in Political Science from the University of Southern Maine and my M.A. in International Affairs from American University’s School of International Service. For information about my research, my teaching, and me, please have a look around my site.
