I am an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. In 2015, I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science from the Department of Government at Cornell University, with a focus on African Politics. My research examines determinants of political behavior, with a focus on how institutions and policy shape individual choices about political action. My current projects are listed under "research."
