About Me

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science (pre-tenure) at Hunter College, CUNY. Prior to this, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

I earned my Ph.D. (2020) and M.A. (2017) in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focusing on American politics and political methodology.

I study race, ethnicity, and politics, public opinion, and policing. My forthcoming book Destabilized: Why White Americans Accept Racist Political Rhetoric will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2026.
