General Information

Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Administration at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I received a PhD in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Southern California in 2018. Before USC, I completed a BA (Hons) and an MA at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

Teaching Interests

I am interested in teaching a range of courses across the Emergency Management and Disaster Science curriculum at UNO, with a particular emphasis on the politics of disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation. I aim to foster learning through facilitating a fun, inclusive environment; through setting high expectations for students; and through providing opportunities for students to develop their skills.

Research Interests

I study how information and public opinion affect policymaking, especially during periods of crisis. In my research, I argue that these periods create extraordinary conditions to create change and pursue policies that would otherwise be all but impossible.

Service Summary

I currently serve as a member of the SPA Doctoral Program Committee, the SPA Diversity and Inclusion Workgroup, and the Emergency Management and Disaster Science Committee.
