I am a statistician at the LAPOP Lab. I received my PhD from the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt University.
My current research centers on survey research methodology with a regional focus on Latin America. I am primarily interested in techniques for improving online surveys, both in terms of sampling and questionnaire design. My substantive research interests investigate the linkages between citizens and political elites, the role of political institutions in influencing legislator responsiveness to their constituents, as well as how citizens can or fail to hold their representatives accountable.
My work and training has been supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a John A. Garcia Scholarship from the Society for Political Methodology to attend the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research, as well as a Tinker Award from the Center for Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt University to undertake field research in Mexico. My work is forthcoming or has appeared in Electoral Studies, Political Behavior, the Journal of Experimental Political Science, the International Journal of Public Opinion Research, and PS: Political Science and Politics.
