I am an assistant professor of political science at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. I study legislative policymaking in the United States using mixed methods. My research has been published in Political Science Quarterly and Legislative Studies Quarterly. I am currently developing my dissertation on congressional policymaking in response to crises into a book manuscript.
I received my PhD in Politics from Princeton University in October 2024. For the 2024-2025 academic year, I served as an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow in the office of Senator Raphael Warnock. I also served as a Social Impact Fellow at New America from 2023-2024. I received my BA in political science from the University of Georgia in 2017 and worked as a staff writer for Ballotpedia from 2017-2019. I was a writer and research director for The Almanac of American Politics from 2019-2025.
