​Welcome!

​I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin, specializing in American Politics and Public Policy. I study policy processes, minority representation, organized interests, and bureaucratic politics.

I am also the former Director of Undergraduate Research for the Policy Agendas Project, housed at the University of Texas. I received my M.A. in Government from The University of Texas at Austin and my B.A. in Political Science from the University of California, Davis.

​My research has been supported by the American Political Science Association, the Irma Rangel Public Policy Institute, the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life, and the Policy Agendas Project.
