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.
Broadly, my research focuses on political representation 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. My book, How Politicians Polarize: Political Representation in an Age of Negative Partisanship, is being published with University of Chicago Press in early 2025.
I teach classes on topics in American politics and quantitative methods, and also oversee a number of collaborative undergraduate research projects.
I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Before graduate school, I worked as a community organizer in New York City. My pronouns are she/her. Feel free to reach out to get to know me or my work better.
