Substantively, I am interested in American political behavior with a focus on communication, mass media, and gender. My research spans all things experiments and public opinion in the US context but is mostly focused on mass opinion toward women in politics. Additional research interests include polarization, theories of representation, and legislative behavior.

Methodologically, my research uses experimental methods including surveys and lab experiments. I also hold interest in text analysis and natural language processing. My research has received funding from sources including the National Science Foundation and the Dirksen Congressional Center.
