I am an MPhil student in Politics (Comparative Government) under the supervision of Professor Tarik Abou-Chadi. My research concerns the intersection of political behaviour, party strategy and social identities in European democracies. I am interested in exploring the short term effect of parties’ identity based appeals on voting behaviour and the long term role these appeals take within processes of cleavage formation.
Before joining the DPIR I graduated from my BSc in Economics at UCL on the Dean’s List, with First Class Honours. During my time at UCL I was an editor for the student-led academic Journal of Economic as well as a regular contributor to the Economic Tribune, a student-led magazine focused on current economic and political affairs.
Outside of academia I gained valuable experience working in the Bundestag office of Thomas Jarzombek and the Berlin studio of Deutschlandradio, Germany’s public radio broadcaster, where I focused on federal German politics as a full contributor to their main programme.
