I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Davis.  My path here took me from my hometown of Austin, TX to the University of Pittsburgh, where I completed my undergraduate studies in Political Science and Music, and continued on to get my Ph.D. in Political Science.  During this time, I got to spend my summers traveling, researching, and learning – attending the summer programs at ICPSR in Ann Arbor and EITM in St. Louis, along with yearly field work interviewing ambassadors and diplomats.  After studying at Pitt, I spent an incredible year on a postdoctoral fellowship with the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University. From there, to Davis!
