Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
My research focuses on political behavior, public opinion, cybersecurity and American foreign policy. I specialize in survey research and experiments. My research has been published in Political Behavior, the Journal of Experimental Political Science, the Journal of Law and Courts and World Development.

I received my PhD in Political Science from Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL and a B.A. in Politics & International Affairs and Economics at Furman University in Greenville, SC. Before pursuing a doctorate, I worked as a Research Analyst at Southwick Associates where I managed survey panels and conducted research for government agencies, lobbyist groups and private firms.
