Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Sciences Po médialab. My research centers on discrimination and immigrant integration, with a focus on France.
From 2019 to 2023, I was an Assistant Professor in the department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I graduated from Stanford University in June 2019 with a Ph.D. in Political Science. Before attending Stanford, I completed a M.A in Economics at the Paris School of Economics and worked on evaluations of health and cash transfer interventions with Innovations for Poverty Action in Cameroon, Uganda and Liberia.
