About Me:

I am an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University. My research and teaching focuses on the causes and consequences of women's political representation in established democracies and across the globe. In particular, I study gender and political parties, executive branch politics, citizens' responses to women's presence in politics, and research methods. I have published articles on these topics in journals including the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Politics & Gender, and Comparative Politics. News coverage of my work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Guardian, MSNBC, and multiple international outlets.
