Bio
I am a second year Ph.D. student. I graduated from East Tennessee State University in May of 2021 with a Masters in Sociology. During my masters’ I gained experience in survey research methods and qualitative interviews. In the summer of 2021, I was an intern at IPSOS working with their KnowledgePanel building surveys and working on polling forensics for the 2020 Presidential election. Now in my first year at UNL I am working on my quantitative methods and adjusting to life in Lincoln.
