I am an Assistant Professor of Public Administration in the Department of Political Science at Texas Tech University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at East Tennessee State University. I earned my Ph.D. in political science at the University of Oklahoma Previously, I worked as a research assistant for the Center for Risk and Crisis Management.
My research interests are broadly within the field of public policy. Substantively and specifically, I am interested in using cases from environmental and natural hazards policy and politics to contribute to developing theoretical approaches to the policy process, applied policy analyses, and public administration. To this effect, you will find my published research in outlets such as the Public Administration Review, Policy Studies Journal, Publius, and Energy Economics, among others.
On this website, you will find insight into both my personal and professional selves and the intermingling of the two, as evidenced by the navigation menu above.
