Hello! I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University. My dissertation focused on developing and implementing novel methods in time series analysis. My fields of interest are Political Methodology and Political Economy. My research interests include policymaking, polarization, time series analysis, spatial econometrics, cross-section time-series analysis, and models for compositional outcomes. My work has either been published in or is forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, The Journal of Politics, and The Stata Journal. Prior to graduate school, I received my B.S. in Political Science from Texas A&M University with cum laude honors and Phi Beta Kappa distinction (December 2016).
