Welcome! I am a Visiting Fellow in East Asian Legal Studies at Harvard Law School and an Ernest May Fellow in History and Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. I am also a PhD Candidate in History at Yale.

I am a historian of international law and comparative law. My research explores how China’s extraordinary economic rise has transformed the global economic order. I approach this question through topics such as sovereign debt, trade, and corporate governance.

My research has appeared or is forthcoming in the American Journal of Comparative Law, Harvard Law Review, Journal of American-East Asian Relations, and an edited volume on China-Africa relations.

I received a JD magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where I was an editor of the Harvard Law Review, and a BA summa cum laude in Chinese from Arizona State University. I am currently completing a PhD in history at Yale University. I began my career in the international development sector, including two years in the Zambia office of IDinsight, an economic research and consulting firm.

My teaching interests include contracts, business associations, property, international business transactions, comparative law, and international law.
