Hello, welcome to my infinitesimal corner of the Internet.
I am a policy researcher and analyst living in San Francisco.
My primary research interests lie at the intersection of congressional procedure, politics, and fiscal policy.
I contribute to the work of Co-Equal and also work on freelance analysis and research projects.
