ABOUT ME

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois. I completed my Master of Arts in International Relations at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois, and received my PhD in political science at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri where I focused on the study of international relations and comparative politics. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring students, collaborating with colleagues on research and service projects, and growing as a methodologist in my field of research.
