Hello and thank you for visiting my website! I am a recently minted Ph.D. from the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs and a new Assistant Professor of Public Administration at the University of Miami.

My research agenda seeks to interpret and help address how public policy and administration shape the political capital and civic standing and identity of targeted groups. I am interested in how such mechanisms inform patterns of engagement and political participation, perceptions of citizenship and social belonging, public trust, and collective action. I am also interested in questions concerning macro public administration, political representation, and radical democracy.

My research areas of interest include:

• Civic/political participation and activism

• Voting rights and election administration

• Citizen-state interactions

• Policy feedback

• Administrative and racialized burdens

• Public opinion and policy

• Public sector ethics

• Social and higher education policy

• Political and bureaucratic representation
