I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Kansas State University. I received my Ph.D. in Comparative Politics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my B.A. from Union College in Schenectady, NY. My research centers on democracy, institutional change, executive-legislative relations and female executives. I teach courses in Comparative and Latin American Politics.
My book manuscript, currently in preparation, examines how Latin American presidents with ambitious reform agendas implement them in a democratic context. More specifically, it analyzes the underlying causes, mechanisms for success, and consequences of one particular method of reform: a Constituent Assembly with supreme power to change the political system. I have conducted extensive fieldwork in Bolivia and Ecuador. My research has been published in Governance and the International Political Science Review.
