I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics & International Affairs at Wake Forest University.

I study legislator and voter behavior in the United States. My main research interest is the interaction between politicians and voters, examining how politicians perceive and react to the preferences of voters and how voters evaluate and respond to politicians.

Prior to my current position, I was a Congressional Fellow with the American Political Science Association, where I worked on policy in the DC office of a member of Congress. Before that, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Oberlin College, where I taught American politics courses with a focus on American political institutions. I defended my dissertation, “Essays on Elections and Responsiveness in the United States,” at Princeton University in September 2022, and graduated with my Ph.D. in November 2022. Additionally, I hold an M.A. in Politics from Princeton University (June 2017) and a B.A. in Political Science, Economics, and Mathematics with general honors and political science departmental honors from the University of Miami (May 2015).
