Early Stage Researcher (ESR)
I completed a Master of Arts degree in political science from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2006 where my research explored the relationship between US foreign aid and voting in the United Nations General Assembly.
From 2003-2009, I worked as the international exchange coordinator at UM-St. Louis. As an undergraduate, I studied and worked in France and Spain, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in international management and French from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota.
My current research focuses on how citizens attribute responsibility in multilevel government systems, specifically in the context of the European Union. Broadly, my academic interests include political psychology, voting behavior, comparative politics, and quantitative research methods.
During my ELECDEM research contract I have undertaken periods of secondment at the European Parliament (Brussels Belgium) and the University of Exeter (UK).
