Welcome to my website. I am a graduate student and teaching assistant pursuing my Ph.D. in political science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I primarily study American state and local politics, the politics of redistribution, and Congress. I also study political methodology and have recently been interested in spatial and geographic methods. Prior to graduate school, I worked as an aide to U.S. Senator Paul S. Sarbanes of Maryland. Be sure to visit the links above for information about my research, links to other websites, and to see photos from my travels to Africa and South America.
