Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Policy Administration at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. Previously, I served as the Senior Policy Data Analyst for the Rochester Police Accountability Board.
I hold a Ph.D in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with concentrations in American politics, public policy, and public administration. My work is driven by an interest in creative and thoughtful research design, figuring out how to measure messy concepts, and finding ways to use research to inform real-world change.
