​Hi there! I am an Assistant Professor of American Judicial Politics at Texas Christian University. I completed my doctorate (American Politics, Methods) in 2022 at the University of Minnesota. I grew up in South Carolina and attended Coastal Carolina University for my undergraduate degree.  

My research explores the intersection of judicial behavior, political communication, and social psychology, focusing on how individuals learn about and form opinions of the U.S. Supreme Court.  I teach courses in public law, which includes Judicial Politics, Constitutional Law: Powers, Constitutional Law: Rights and Liberties, Introduction to Public Law, and Equality Under the Law (14th Amendment). 

In my free time, I enjoy cheering on the Vikings and Gophers, spending time with my 3-year-old twins, hiking, eating good food, and playing video games.
