I am a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

My research primarily focuses on the formation and realignment of political coalitions in the United States. I am particularly interested in understanding how structural economic change, political geography, and social arrangements influence political attitudes and behavior. In my methodological work, I develop methods to understand elections, to connect theory to measurement, and to improve measurement of public opinion using increasingly non-representative survey data.

My research is published in journals including the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics, and Political Analysis. My work has been covered in major news outlets such as the New York Times, the The Washington Post, the Economist, the Atlantic, and others.

My teaching experience includes undergraduate courses on survey research methods, data science, and political geography, and a graduate course on American political institutions.

Since 2022, I have also worked as an Elections Analyst at the NBC News Decision Desk. Previously, I worked at the Program for Opinion Research and Election Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton’s Center for the Study of Democratic Politics.
