About

Political science and campaign experience, centered on Arizona.

Arizona focus and professional direction

My direction centers on American constitutional government, political institutions, elections, Arizona legislative affairs, public policy, research, law and legal processes, civic leadership, and public service. ASU provides the academic foundation, while campaign work shows how preparation, accuracy, and respectful communication matter in practice.

I approach politics from a Republican perspective and am especially interested in how constitutional government, elections, public institutions, and public policy shape Arizona.

My near-term priorities are to deepen my campaign experience, pursue early-career legislative and public-affairs opportunities, strengthen my research and writing, and earn greater responsibility through adaptability and consistent follow-through.
