Welcome! I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP) at Princeton University. In fall 2027, I will join the Department of Government in the School of Public Affairs at American University as an Assistant Professor.

My research examines how race, representation, and local governance shape housing policy and urban development. I am also interested in applying modern statistical methods to measure political ideology and analyze political text.

In my spare time, I enjoy Dodger baseball and running.

I can be reached at my email: jc8532@princeton.edu.
