I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at Lamar University. My teaching focuses on Comparative Politics, my research tends to straddle Comparative Politics and International Relations. I completed my Ph.D. from the University of California, Riverside's Political Science department. My work focused predominantly on post-conflict reconstruction and race, topics still near and dear to me. My current work shifted with covid, to studying how voluntary service affects women long-term.
When not working, I enjoy my cats, doom scrolling on tik-tok, watching murder-mysteries, and working on my quilting skills.
