Major- American Politics

In Spring 2015, I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a bachelor’s degree in Government and Politics with high honors. As of Fall 2015, I entered the PhD program, studying American Politics and Public Policy. Upon entry to the program, I was awarded the GWU Policy Studies Endowment Graduate Fellowship. My research interests include American political institutions (esp. Congress), public policy, social welfare policy, and income inequality’s effect on public policymaking.
