About me
I am a quantitative social scientist and survey researcher based in Chicago, IL.I earned my PhD from the Department of Political Science at Northwestern University, where I specialized in American politics and quantitative research methodology. My research, which has been supported by competitively-awarded university grants and Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences, has been published in The Journal of Politics, Political Behavior, Political Communication, Political Psychology, and Weather, Climate, and Society, and by Cambridge University Press.
Prior to graduate school, I worked in market research, politics, and the non-profit sector. I was a Fulbright scholar (Indonesia 2011-12) and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Allegheny College (2010). My first job was on a farm.
Selected projects

In this article, we use an e-mail correspondence study to explore the impact of racial and partisan discrimination in higher education.

I assess the impact of political and nonpolitical considerations on social decisions via conjoint analysis.

We utilize open-ended survey items and structural topic modeling to document political stereotypes.
