At SCOUT Economics, I perform location analyses and public policy analysis for corporate and government clients. I built and implement firmwide fact-checking, override, and lock-out protocols for AI research to support accuracy and client-data safety.

At the University of Connecticut, I led political science discussion sections and supported students through office hours and mentoring. My research has included measuring political sentiment with online discourse, assessing human rights compliance across 193 countries, and mapping cartel violence against displacement into the U.S.
