Personal profile

I am a Ph.D. candidate researching female party leaders and their effects on the electorate's perceptions of parties as a whole. My research interests more broadly include gender and politics and voters' perceptions of parties.

Prior to my Ph.D., I completed an MSc-Comparative Politics from LSE and hold a B.A. in Political Science from UC Berkeley. My research within my previous degrees focused heavily on Irish politics and the politics of abortion access.
