Welcome to my site. I am a social scientist conducting research on American politics with a focus on mass shootings and firearms regulation, race and ethnic politics, and class and economic inequality. My research utilizes quantitative methods, including survey research and the design and analysis of original laboratory, survey, and field experiments.
I live in Los Angeles and am an Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy and Department of Political Science at the University of California, Riverside. I am also a Faculty Affiliate at the Robert Presley Center for Crime and Justice Studies. Previously, I lived in New York City and was an Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut. I am 100% the product of public education: I received my PhD in Political Science at Stony Brook University and my MA and BA from Sonoma State University. I grew up in Las Vegas, NV where I attended public schools from K-12.
