Expe­ri­ence

Before begin­ning my doc­toral work, I spent sev­eral years prac­tic­ing law in and around the fed­eral gov­ern­ment—clerk­ing for two fed­eral judges, work­ing as an appel­late attor­ney at the Depart­ment of Jus­tice, and advis­ing on immi­gra­tion pol­icy in the Sen­ate. Those expe­ri­ences gave me a gran­u­lar view of how fed­eral insti­tu­tions actu­ally oper­ate, while also sharp­en­ing a set of ques­tions about bureau­cratic behav­ior and admin­is­tra­tive power that I wanted to pur­sue with the tools of social sci­ence.
