Welcome!

 

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Government at Smith College, where I research and teach courses on American government, political behavior, and public policy.

​

Prior to my current role, I completed my Ph.D. in political science at the University of Notre Dame, where I specialized in American politics and policy, comparative politics, and quantitative research methods.

​

I earned my bachelor's degree from Frostburg State University in political science and economics, and before academia held a variety of roles in public affairs and the non-profit sector.
