I am currently a 3rd year Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science at SUNY-Stony Brook. My main substantive interests are in the subfields of public opinion and electoral behavior. I also have strong interests in political methodology. My original research has focused on the topics of public opinion of the Supreme and state courts, partisan ambivalence, the influence of the media on political attitudes, and the dynamics of public opinion at the aggregate. I am currently teaching undergraduate American Political Ideology and Public Opinion. For a more detailed look at the work I have done to date, please see the working papers tab.
