I am a Ph.D. candidate in my sixth year of study at Princeton University. Starting in August I will be a Scholar in the Robert Wood Johnson Scholars in Health Policy Program at the University of Michigan. My dissertation draws on political psychology and formal modeling to explain how individuals' interests and the dynamics of group discussion bias the way groups use information in deliberation. More broadly, I am interested in political psychology, experimental methods, deliberative democracy, and campaigns and elections in the American context. My paper, "Information Sharing in Democratic Deliberation: An Experimental Approach," won the Southern Political Science Association's Malcolm Jewell Award for the Best Paper by a Graduate Student.
