I attended the University of Minnesota for undergrad where I majored in Mathematics (B.S.) and Political Science (B.S.) and minored in Computer Science.
Currently, I am working towards a PhD in Political Science as well as a Master’s in Computer Science and an interdisciplinary specialization in Quantitative Research Methods.
Outside of academics, I enjoy shopping, reading, the Jonas Brothers, and college football (Go Gophers!). A fun fact about me is that I can eat a family size box of Cheez-it’s in one sitting.
I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota and am a Minnesotan through and through. I stand by my pronunciation of bag and firmly believe that it is duck-duck-grey duck. Also, if you’ve never been to the Minnesota State Fair you are missing out. It is by far the best twelve days of the year.
I also have three dogs: Matilda, Oliver, and Ramona!
