I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Francis Marion University. I received my Bachelors Degree in Political Science with a Minor in Legal Studies from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2011 and my Ph.D. in Political Science from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in 2020 where he focused on American Politics, Public Law, and Women and Politics. Before starting my Ph.D. I had a brief run in with law school.
Previously I taught as an Adjunct at Rutgers University, offering courses on American political behavior, Constitutional law, and judicial politics. At Francis Marion University, I offer courses on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights, the criminal justice system, American government, the American legal system, and criminal law.
My research agenda, though varied, comes back to examining questions of rights and liberties through different lenses. My work has been published in the journal Victims and Offenders, the Journal of Women, Politics, and Policy, Constitutional Studies, and Politics and Gender. I have also co-written law review articles published in the West Virginia Law Review and the Brigham Young Journal of Public Law.
Currently, my research has focused on issues of privacy and surveillance in the digital age. Specifically, myself and my co-authors are working on a book manuscript that examines the ways in which law enforcement can utilize data collected and then sold by private companies, raising questions of privacy rights and 4th Amendment protections.
