Hello! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My research concerns topics of challenger parties, party strategies, the politics of crisis and the causes and effects of challenger party normalization. I specialize in Western European party systems and their challengers of the day — the radical right 

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).
