I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at The College of New Jersey. During the 2025-2026 academic year, I will be in Washington D.C. completing an APSA Congressional Fellowship.

I specialize in American Politics with a particular emphasis on gender, political representation, and political participation. My current book project explores the role of Women's Candidate Training Organizations in shaping women's political ambition and representation, both overall and across race, ethnicity, and partisanship.

My research has been published in the British Journal of Political Science, Political Psychology, and via Cambridge Elements. I have received generous support from the National Science Foundation's Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS), the American Political Science Association, and the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford Fellowship and Center for the Employment of Women+.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in a desire to ensure all students are scaffolded and challenged. I have mentored eleven undergraduate Research Assistants across three projects, even receiving a competitive Undergraduate Research Mentorship Award in 2022.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2023.
