About
I graduated from Francis Marion University with a B.A. in both Political Science and Economics in 2018. I was a Blackwell Award recipient at FMU, reflecting that I was the top student in my graduating class. In 2018, I also began working toward my Ph.D. in Political Science at UC Irvine, where I investigated statistical methods for studying political behavior and attitudes using the framework of intersectionality and multidimensional identities, namely race, gender, and class. My more recent agenda is centered around gender consciousness as a construct in the modern women's movement and the conservative movement using both survey data and user-generated content on social media.
In 2020, I attained two Masters's degrees in Mathematics and Behavioral Sciences and Political Science at UC Irvine. I studied under Dr. Ines Levin and Dr. Michael Tesler at UCI. I attained my Ph.D. in 2024. My dissertation committee also includes Dr. Danielle Thomsen from UC Irvine and Dr. Michael Alvarez from California Institute of Technology.
