I research the politics of American criminalization. My empirical work thus far uses interviews and quantitative methods, working with a wide range of data (e.g. administrative and survey data). You can find my full CV here.

My personal research is supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

Works in Progress

Currently, I am collecting interview data for my dissertation, which examines how crime journalists in local print newsrooms discover events, build relationships with sources, and make decisions about newsworthiness.
