I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Nevada, Reno. My research focuses on understanding the proximate causes of terrorism through geospatial analysis and qualitative case study research. I am in my final year of dissertation work and plan to defend in Spring 2025.
I am originally from a small ski town in California, and before going into academia, I competed at the collegiate and international levels of ski racing. I also had a short career as a sponsored amateur on the North American Ski Cross Tour, where I qualified for World Cup competitions and became the first American woman to win an International Ski Cross Event. After retiring, I shifted to academia.
I completed an MA in political science in 2018 from the University of Nevada, Reno. Then, I received a post-graduate certificate in Geospatial Intelligence Applications from Penn State before returning to the University of Nevada, Reno, to start my doctoral program. Throughout my doctoral program, I have had the opportunity to teach American Experiences and Constitutional Change, Terrorism, Comparative Politics, and Nevada Constitution as the instructor of record. I have also TA'd for a variety of courses, including international relations and political theory. Over the years, I have also had the opportunity to tutor and teach at the primary and secondary levels.
When I am not working on my research or at the university, I can likely be found watching 49ers games, walking my dogs, skiing, paddling, swimming, running, or reading.
