Collegiate Affiliation

I am a fourth year PhD student in political science at the University of Minnesota and a population studies graduate trainee at the Minnesota Population Center. I am broadly interested in American Political Economy, and my dissertation looks at the role that sources of place-linked livelihood (farming, mining, manufacturing, fishing, etc.) play on people's identities and political views (especially on economic/environmental policy).

I have a quantitative background and like to help others defeat their math/statistics anxiety. I am an avid gardener and gamer, a reluctant jogger and biker, and a proud resident of the humbler twin city, St. Paul, where I share a home with my partner Ryan, my tabby cat Circe, and my golden retriever Allie.
