About

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science & Criminal Justice at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. I study how public opinion can be influenced during controversial events, such as police shootings, a pandemic, or international incidents, as well as the public’s attitudes towards policy changes in response to such events.

I teach substantive undergraduate courses on topics including the U.S. national government, political psychology, U.S. constitutional law, criminal justice, law and society, and U.S. state and local government, as well as methodological courses on basic research design and quantitative analysis.
