Visiting the New York State Capital (Albany, NY - Mar. 2024)

About Me

I grew up in Elizabethtown, PA, and went to Elizabethtown Area High School, before heading to Lebanon Valley College to pursue a B.A. in Political Science, History, and Law and Society.

During my time at Lebanon Valley College, I served as an intern archivist for the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives Archives where I got some hands-on experience with government and politics.

After graduating in 2022, I moved to Columbia, SC, to pursue my Ph.D. in Political Science, where I still am a student today. I study American politics and public policy under Neal Woods.

I come from a family of educators. My father taught in a public middle school for over 30 years, and my mother is a professor of occupational therapy.

I enjoy being outdoors and taking photos (usually at the same time). I also spend many joyful hours with my cat, Wonton, who is, unequivocally, a good boy.
