I'm an assistant professor of Political Science with a below-the-line appointment in Berkeley's Department of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies (formerly Classics). I was born in the UK to an English father and Chilean mother, grew up in Manchester, and have worked in Malaysia and China as well as the UK and US. Since receiving my Ph.D. from Harvard in 2013, I've held positions at Harvard (Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows), Stanford (visiting research fellow) and Yale (visiting lecturer and then assistant professor). In 2017, I gave birth to a wonderful daughter, and in 2019, joined UC Berkeley. I'm currently working on two books: one on ancient Greek democracy and another comparing ancient and modern democracy.
