I'm a PhD Researcher at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the European University Institute (Florence, Italy). Prior to joining the EUI, I received an MA in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2025, and an MSc in European and International Public Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2023. I also hold a BA in Politics with Economics from Loughborough University (2022).

My research focuses on the importance of social media for political behaviour, public opinion, and political parties from a comparative perspective, and to a lesser degree, data collection. I'm especially interested in social media political communication, as well as network structures that may uncover latent attitudes and behaviours.

I also worked as RA for the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES) and for GLOBAL at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (EUI).

Other interests and hobbies of mine are:

• Reading (my Goodreads)
• Chess (let's play!)
• Films (my Letterboxd)
• Running and nature
