bio

I am originally from a small town about an hour west of Nashville. I received my BA in political science from Austin Peay State University with minors in French and international relations.

After receiving my BA, I spent two years serving as an AmeriCorps volunteer. In AmeriCorps, I worked with first generation and other under-served student populations in earning their bachelors degrees. 

I moved to Washington in 2021 to pursue my PhD in political science at Washington State University's school of Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs.
