Welcome! I recently received my PhD in Political Science from Florida State University. I'll be joining the faculty at the University of Tennessee as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025.
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.
