I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin. At the University of Texas, I am affiliated with, and my work has been supported by, the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies and the Irma Rangel Public Policy Institute. During the 2019-20 academic year, I was a Fulbright Research Fellow at Comenius University. I received my B.A. in political science from Vassar College.
I study ethnic politics and voting behavior in Central and Eastern Europe. I am particularly interested in the links between the actions of international actors, political opinion formation, and nationalist voting. The Association for Slavic, East European, & Eurasian Studies, the Eastern Focus Fellowship, the National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic, the U.S. Embassy Small Grants Program, and the Texas Politics Project have supported my research.
