I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Rochester, Political Science Department. While I study American Politics broadly, my research interest focuses on Race/Ethnic Politics, Political Behavior, Public Opinion, Judicial Politics, and the Presidency. Within these subfields, I address questions of political participation, institutional influences on citizens' behavior, and responsiveness of elected officials at all levels of governance.

This site allows you to view my CV, working papers, research statement, etc.

The research that I am conducting is progressing at a good pace and I will be on the job market in the Fall (2008).

If you have any questions about my research please contact me by phone or email. Otherwise, enjoy exploring the site.
