About Me
Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science and Dissertation Fellow at Texas A&M University.
My research interests include executives, legislatures, electoral and policy outcomes, representative institutions, coalition governance, constitutional law, and judicial politics. In my doctoral dissertation, I focus on the use and consequences of government-initiated votes of confidence in parliamentary democracies and related features of parliamentarism.
