Hello,

My research focuses on state politics and the policymaking process. I am particularly interested in the role of interest groups in the policymaking process across the American states.  My dissertation investigates the adoption of anti-protest legislation in the United States in response to increases in protest activity. For more information on my research agenda, please visit my research page.

I am passionate about teaching and have experience teaching Introduction to American Politics, Introduction to Public Policy, State Politics, and Political Science Data Analysis (Teaching Assistant). For more information on my teaching experience, please visit my teaching page.
