I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at Duke University.

The main goal of my research is to understand the development of political beliefs and preferences—how they form, how they cohere and how we can study them. Across different research settings, I ask why people draw divergent lessons from shared experiences, how ideology shapes major life choices, and what social and developmental mechanisms structure political belief systems.

These days I study political differentiation across generations after BLM and the role of personal values in structuring political preferences.
