I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Memphis. I was previously an Assistant Professor at the University of North Florida, and received my Ph.D. in 2022 from the University of Florida. 

My research focuses on political attitudes and behavior, with a focus on misperceptions, prejudice, and populism. In particular, I examine why individuals come to hold illiberal and anti-democratic beliefs and how these beliefs can be experimentally reduced. 

My work has been published in the Journal of Experimental Political Science, Electoral Studies, American Politics Research, and more. You can find more information about my ongoing work, experience, and contact information above.
