I am a fourth year Ph.D candidate in the political science department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  I graduated from the University of Missouri in 2007 with a B.A. in political science.  I specialize in American politics and political methodology.  I am broadly interested in mass attitudes, political communication, campaigns, and elections.  More specifically, I am interested in candidate interaction, campaign advertising, and the effect of information on the formation of political attitudes among citizens.
