Hey y'all, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Auburn University. I received a PhD from the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University in 2023, and BA from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2018. 

​I study public opinion, voting behavior, and elections. Broadly, my research investigates how political institutions, objective conditions, subjective evaluations, the media, and communication technologies shape the behaviors and attitudes of American voters.

Currently, I am interested in how partisan realignment is shaping voting behavior and public opinion.  My recent research investigates the following questions: 

• Does realignment along the lines of education mean Republicans now have the advantage in high turnout elections? And Democrats in low turnout?
• Are nostalgic Americans more likely to now vote Republican? Hold racist and sexist beliefs? Express authoritarian attitudes? 
• Has the leftward shift of big business created a rift between Republicans, their free market attitudes, and support for business leaders' involvement in politics?​
