PhD Candidate at UCLA.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at UCLA, where I study how place and social context influence political behavior.

My dissertation, The Individual and Aggregate Effects of Residential Mobility on Voter Turnout, links voter file date with USPS change of address records to estimate whether moving lowers turnout and whether the resulting turnout losses change the makeup of the electorate.

My other work on race and democratic norms has been published in The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science and the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics.

Originally from New York City, I moved to Los Angeles for graduate school. When I'm not working, I enjoy training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and spending time with my rescue bulldog.
