My primary area of research is public policy, with additional interest in partisanship, institutions, and pedagogy. I teach at both the undergraduate and graduate level. At Indiana University Kokomo, I have created courses that focus on topics such as environmental policy, health policy, the presidency, constitutional law, and political parties.

One of my favorite things about teaching is creating custom immersive simulation experiences for my students. I also serve as the Director of the Office of Sustainability and faculty advisor for Pi Sigma Alpha, the Student Sustainability Council, the History and Political Science Club, and Model United Nations.

I welcome identifying avenues for collaboration across subfields and disciplines. I am open to discussing new teaching and leadership opportunities centered on teaching innovation, student success, and program-building.
