Introduction
Hi and welcome to my site!
I am a doctoral candidate in political science at Columbia University in New York, NY. My research interests vary but I typically study different aspects of American political development. Currently I am in the process of writing my dissertation, a comprehensive study of presidential religious rhetoric- when it has been used, how it has been used and when it has (or more often has not) been successful. My work combines nuanced case studies with an original psychological experiment. On this site, you will find more information about this project, my past research as well as my teaching record and ideas.
Prior to coming to Columbia I grew up just outside of Hartford, CT. I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergrad. And when I’m not thinking about politics, I enjoy exercising, pop culture and cheering on my favorite sports teams, in particular my beloved Miami Dolphins.
Thanks for visiting and please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions or comments!
