I am a social scientist studying political representation, political behavior, and the politics of race and gender in the United States.


I work at Dartmouth College as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government and Program in Quantitative Social Science

I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and my B.A. in Political Science from the State University of New York at New Paltz. Between those degrees, I traveled the U.S. to learn about activist intentional communities and then worked as a community organizer in New York City. During 2021-2023, I was a visiting scholar at Harvard University's Center for American Political Studies

Broadly, my research focuses on political representation, psychology, and public opinion in American politics, often through the lens of identity and using experimental and other statistical methods. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as American Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Political Behavior, Politics & Gender, Political Research Quarterly, American Politics Research, PLoS ONE, Journal of Experimental Political Science, Research & Politics, and others. 

I teach classes on topics in American politics and quantitative methods, and also oversee a number of collaborative undergraduate research projects. My pronouns are she/her. Feel free to reach out to get to know me or my work better.
