Welcome, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Comparative Politics at Ohio State University. My dissertation examines the sources of regional party electoral success. In particular, it focuses on how patronage, behavioral expectations and voter perceptions influence vote choice for regional parties.

My research interests include: Parties and Elections; Comparative Political Institutions (specifically  Federalism); and Public Policy Diffusion.
