I am an Assistant Professor of Communication and (by courtesy) Political Science at The Ohio State University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Colorado State University, and before that the Martin Fishbein Postdoctoral Fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Postdoctoral Fellow (nonresident) at the Centre for Public Opinion and Political Representation at Simon Fraser University. I received my PhD in political science at the University of British Columbia.

I study the news media environment and it's effects on society by examining both the supply side (content of the news and it's effects on political polarization and attitudes about topics like climate change or vaccines) and demand side of news consumption (like the structure of people's media diets and analysis of what sources people deem credible and why).
