I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and an Adjunct Faculty Member at Winston-Salem State University. My primary subfield is Comparative Politics, but I also focus on Methodology and International Politics. I expect to defend my dissertation in May 2025 and receive my degree by August 10, 2025. I have also received an M.A. in Political Science from the University of Chicago, an M.A. in African American Studies from Columbia University, and an M.A. in Astronomy from Wesleyan University. I was a double major in Political Science and Physics at Oberlin College.
