I am currently a Post-Doctoral research fellow with the Executive Approval Project based at Georgia State University. Starting in the fall of 2024, I will be an Assistant Professor in Political Science at Clemson University. I received my PhD from Princeton University in the Department of Politics in May of 2022. My work has been published in the American Political Science Review, the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies and Public Opinion Quarterly.

My research focuses on changes in the structure of political competition and representation in advanced democratic societies. My dissertation examines how and when political parties choose to provide quality descriptive and substantive representation to members of their electoral coalitions - and when they chose to leave some groups out. Methodologically, I have a particular interest in the use of Natural Language Processing techniques to study political parties and candidates.

I have an ongoing project consisting of multiple papers and a book with Noam Gidron and Jim Adams that focuses on expanding the research on affective polarization and partisan hostility to a comparative perspective. A paper from this project is forthcoming in Comparative Political Studies. With a larger group of co-authors, we link the literature on gender representation and affective polarization - our first article from that project is forthcoming at the American Political Science Review. Our work on affective polarization has been featured in The New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, Foreign Policy and the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage.
