I am a first-year MPhil in European Politics and Society at Wolfson College. I am currently researching the impact of radical right parties on the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy, particularly looking at the EU's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I am a DPhil candidate in Politics at the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR). My doctoral research explores how political parties, particularly in Europe, compete over democratic legitimacy—a dimension often overlooked in traditional models of party competition. I am particularly interested in how legitimacy claims are articulated, challenged, and reshaped in electoral discourse and political contestation; and how voters react to them.
