​About Me

Photo by Laura Blume (Honduras 2018)
I am an assistant professor of political science at the University of Nevada, Reno. 
 
My current research focuses on the political causes and consequences of criminal violence in Central America. I am working on a book project that uses comparative ethnography to examine the ways in which political context impacts drug-trafficking violence in Central America. 
 
More broadly, my teaching and research interests include the war on drugs, violence, illicit economies, immigration, and democratization throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
