I am a recent PhD in Political Science at Washington University in
St. Louis and a graduate student associate in the Center for
Empirical Research in the Law. My research agenda focuses on
judicial politics with particular attention to gleaning insights from
the content of judicial opinions through the use of
computational text analytic techniques. Before beginning my doctoral studies I earned my
BA summa cum laude in History from Huntington University, my
J.D. with high distinction from Ohio Northern University, and a
Master's Degree in Political Science from the University of Toledo.
