I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. At Wisconsin, I am a coordinator of the Political Behavior Research Group, which meets monthly to discuss a participant's ongoing research project, and of the Political Science Grad Assocation, which organizes professional development workshops for graduate students in the department.

I am a graduate of Bryn Mawr College (A.B. 2000) and worked at the American Institutes for Research before enrolling in graduate school. I am originally from beautiful Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spend most Saturdays in the fall cheering on the Oklahoma Sooners.
