Welcome! I’m an incoming Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Cincinnati. I study American political institutions, with a focus on how race, class, and LGBTQ+ identities shape elections and legislative politics. My work is published in outlets such as Political Research Quarterly, PS: Political Science & Politics, and State Politics & Policy Quarterly.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Virginia in 2025. Before UVA, I earned a B.A. in Politics and International Affairs with a minor in Poverty Studies from Furman University.
