Hello! I am a Ph.D. Student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying Political Science. I am a comparativist focused on Europe. My research concerns topics of challenger parties, party strategies, the politics of crisis and the causes and effects of challenger party normalization. 

I completed my B.A. in Political Science and International Studies at the University of Florida in 2021. In 2023 I completed my M.A. in Political Science at the University of Florida. My Master's thesis, Populism and the Pandemic, examined the effects of the severity of the COVID-19 related crises and the success electoral success of populist parties across Europe. 

I have worked as Research Assistant for the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES).
