Welcome!
I am Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. My research focuses on American political institutions, with an emphasis on congressional partisanship and agenda-setting. I teach courses on the American political process, the presidency, Congress, state and local politics, and research methods.
During the 2016-2017 academic year, I was an APSA Congressional Fellow. I received a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan and a B.A. in Distributed Studies from the University of Colorado.
