Welcome!
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law at Stanford (2024-25) and will be an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Reed College (2025-). I received my PhD in Political Science from MIT in 2024. I study political behavior, the politics of identity, and the carceral state in American Politics. My research has been published in the American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, and Politics, Groups, and Identities. I have received several awards for my research, including the Carrie Chapman Catt Prize for Research on Women and Politics and best paper awards from the American Political Science Association sections on Political Psychology, Political Communication, Interpretive Methods, and Qualitative and Multi-Method Research. I received my B.A. from UCLA, where I graduated summa cum laude with degrees in Political Science and Economics. I am a proud (and happily retired) former member of the UCLA Rowing Team, and was UCLA's Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2018. I am originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland. |
