About
I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. I study gender and politics, campaigns and elections, and backlash politics in comparative and US contexts. I am also the co-founder and President of Women in Political Science at Emory (WiPS-E).
My current primary research agenda investigates how stereotypes related to gender and ideology interact with broader political circumstances to impact primary and general election outcomes for women candidates for Congress. I am also particularly interested in the intersection of gender and the far right, and my research examines how women candidates' presentation of gender and ideology impacts voter evaluations. You can find more information on my published work and current projects on the Research tab. After graduating with a B.A. in International Affairs and French in 2015 from the University of Georgia, I spent a year as a TAPIF teaching assistant in Lille, France. I then returned to the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) to earn my M.A. in Political Science in 2018. Prior to joining Emory University in 2021, I worked as a Research Associate and Data Analyst at EdCount in Washington, D.C. My experience in the education policy world continues to inspire and inform my teaching today. |
