Welcome

I am an ABD Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the University of California, Davis. My research focuses on political communication, youth political behavior, and digital activism. It also examines how issues such as gun control, abortion, and climate change interact with young people's political lives in light of polarization and a fractured media landscape and create pathways to civic engagement. Other areas of interest include media, AI, and technology policy, experimental survey design, and novel methodological approaches like text analysis and machine learning. I am also an experienced visual designer, research analyst, and educational content developer.
