Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Auburn University. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California San Diego in 2021 and my Bachelor’s Degree in Policy Studies from Lafayette College.
My research focuses on representation during the policymaking process, with emphases on state-level policymaking and rural constituencies. My research is published at Political Analysis, Political Behavior, Political Research Quarterly, Political Psychology, State Politics and Policy Quarterly, Environmental Politics, Party Politics, and College Teaching. For more information on my research, I encourage you to visit my Google Scholar profile.
I am passionate about promoting equal opportunity in higher education and apply evidence-based teaching techniques in support of student success. I teach courses in American National Government, State and Local Politics, Policy Analysis, Inequalities in Participation and Representation, Environmental Politics, Executive Politics, Public Policy (PhD Seminar), and The Politics of Economic Inequality.
