Welcome!
I am the Assistant Professor of Political Science at Chadron State College in the northwestern Pine Ridge region of the Nebraska Panhandle. As a teacher-scholar, I use experiential learning to empower my students’ academic and professional development. In the classroom, I develop simulations and hands-on activities to engage students in political science. (Learn more about my pedagogical approach here.) My scholarship relates to political communication and democracy in the Americas. (Learn more about my research projects here.)
