Introduction
Hello, welcome to my website! I am a second year political science doctoral student at the University At Albany. My major sub-field is American politics and my minor sub-field is public policy. My research interests include urban politics, American political parties, identity politics, Congress and political participation.
I am also a former District Leader for the Democratic County Committee of Richmond, New York. At the time I held this position I was the youngest Democratic District Leader in New York City. One of my major goals as a political scientist is to test the very important theoretical claims that political scientists make with practical experiences. I don’t believe it behooves political scientists, or the students we teach, to divorce ourselves from what has been called new political science.
Please search around my website and feel free to contact me for any reason. Thanks for visiting!
