I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Department of History, Political Science, Philosophy, & Religion at South Dakota State University. I also serve as the advisor for the Legal Studies minor and Pre-Law Society. I received my PhD in Political Science from Kent State University in August 2016 and served as a 2015-2016 American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow. My fellowship placement was as a legislative assistant for Representative Daniel Lipinski (D-IL-3). I covered education, agriculture, government operations, campaign finance reform, voting rights, and Native American policy. I also worked with the Science, Space, and Technology Committee and the STEM Education Caucus.
