I'm a self-published author and non-partisan political analyst and researcher. I released my first book, "Why Independents Rarely Win Elections: And How They Could Become More Competitive" in October 2021. You can buy it from Amazon (ebook and paperback), Barnes and Noble (ebook), Kobo (ebook), and other retailers.



I also currently work as the senior page editor of Sayfie Review, a nonpartisan political news aggregator focusing on Florida, and an assistant staff writer with Ballotpedia, the Encyclopedia of American Politics. [NOTE: My views do not express those of my employers.]

EDUCATION:

M.A. in political science (certificate in political campaigning) - University of Florida, 2019 (go Gators!)

B.A. in political science - University of South Florida, 2015 (go Bulls!)



Thankfully, it's not always politics with me. Variety is the spice of life, after all. My other interests include sports and exercise (I am an avid basketball player), video games (my favorite series are The Elder Scrolls and Fallout), and astronomy (I was a big space nerd as a kid).
