I am Associate Professor of Quantitative Political Science Research Methods at Nuffield College and the University of Oxford. Before joining Nuffield, I served as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Davis. I hold a PhD in political science from the University of California, Berkeley, and was a Postdoctoral Prize Fellow in Politics at Nuffield.
I am currently working on a book project on appearance-based discrimination in politics, and have recently taught classes on political psychology and public policy, identity politics, statistics and research design, women in politics, and computational methods.
Before I started graduate school, I worked for a few years in public health and education.
