I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Florida. I received my Ph.D. in 2022 from the University of Florida, where I previously worked as a Lecturer and  Undergraduate Research Coordinator. 

My research focuses on the study of political behavior, with a  focus on the effects of populism, nativism and misinformation on democracy in the United States and Western Europe. In particular, I examine why individuals come to hold illiberal and anti-democratic beliefs, and how these beliefs might 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 research, teaching material and contact information above.
