I am a member of the faculty at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, where I teach courses in political economy and public policy, including Intermediate Microeconomics, International Political Economy, Global Business Affairs, and the Thesis Workshop. I am also affiliated with Georgetown’s Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy and the Baratta Center for Global Business Education, and I serve as a Visiting Scholar with the Center for Public and Non-Profit Leadership. In recognition of my teaching, I received the Leslie Whittington Faculty of the Year Award in 2018.

Before joining the McCourt School, I was a Senior Research Assistant at the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence for European Integration at Freie Universität Berlin, where I contributed to research and consulting projects and taught international political economy. From 2008 to 2009, I also served as an adjunct lecturer in economics at the Akademie Mode & Design in Berlin.

I earned my PhD in Political Science/Political Economy from Freie Universität Berlin in 2010, following a diploma in Economics (equivalent to an MSc) from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich in 2006.
