About Me

Welcome! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. 

My research interests include political psychology, American politics, state and local politics, and disability politics. My dissertation explores the role of dehumanization in shaping candidate evaluations and support, particularly candidates with physical disabilities. In other co-authored and solo projects, I study gubernatorial behavior, political morality, and state and local public opinion and elections.
