Welcome! I am a second-year Government and Politics Ph.D. student and a 2024-2025 President’s Fellow at the University of Maryland, College Park specializing in American Politics and Political Methodology. I study how racial groups develop political attitudes, specifically linked fate.
I received my B.A. in Political Science from California Polytechnic State University Pomona in 2024 after making my way through the California Community College system. I am a first-generation Filipino immigrant and a proud native of the Coachella Valley.
In my spare time, I try not to merge my love for basketball and data analytics, though I often fail. I also enjoy traveling with my fiancée, live music, reading fantasy novels, and taking care of my three cats.
