Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions
Ph.D., Department of Political Science, University of Rochester

Welcome.  I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Vanderbilt University.  I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Rochester, and I completed my undergraduate education in Political Science and Applied Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego.  My research interests lie broadly within the spectrum of American politics, though my dissertation focuses how institutional rules affect decision-making in the United States, especially with respect to the appointments process.
