I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, where I study political communication, public opinion, and political psychology in American politics. Before entering academia, I spent two decades as an independent creative professional.

My recent research examines how short-form political videos impact attitudes toward immigration enforcement, voter responses to costly climate adaptation policies, and Donald Trump’s influence on comedy and political culture.

In my spare time, I enjoy strength training, cycling, and performing sketch comedy.

I hold a Master of Liberal Arts from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Florida State University.
