Biography
My work focuses on the intersection of mental health, political identity, and political behavior. My broader research interests include public opinion, political psychology, health politics and policy, race and ethnic politics, survey research methods, and item development. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. Prior to studying at UVA, I earned a B.A. in political science with high departmental honors and a B.S. in general biology from the University of California, San Diego.
