I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan.
Before joining the University of Michigan, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas and in the Department of Political Science at the University of Georgia. Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of Ethnicity, Race, and Immigration at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. I am a scholar of race, ethnicity, and politics, with a particular interest in Latinx politics, immigration, political behavior, and socialization. My research agenda focuses broadly on the Latinx immigrant experience. I am currently examining how Latinx immigrants and their children incorporate politically, and how political institutions and the American public respond to their efforts to create a place for themselves in the United States. I have a forthcoming book with the University of Chicago Press, titled "Information Brokers: Political Socialization in Latino Immigrant Families," scheduled for May 2026. Additionally, my work has appeared in the American Political Science Review; Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics; Justice System Journal; Political Behavior; Political Research Quarterly; PS: Political Science & Politics; and The Journal of Legislative Studies. |
