Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the University of Michigan. In the Fall of 2026, I will start as an Assistant Professor of political science at the University of Rochester. ​​​​​​​

​My book project, When Hard Work Isn’t Enough, uses mixed methods to examine heterogeneity in Black public opinion about achieving the American Dream.  ​​​​

This project and my broader research agenda interrogate the relationship between American Exceptionalism and attitudes about inequality. My  work has appeared in the Journal of Race, Ethnicity and Politics and RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences. My research has been supported by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, the American Political Science Association, and the Russell Sage Foundation.

My research explores the impact of race, identity and inequality on public opinion.
