Hello!
My name is Haley and I am a PhD Candidate in the political science department at The University of California, Davis. I research electoral and criminal violence with a focus on gender and research methods. Specifically, I am interested in electoral and criminal violence and its gendered dimension, such as understanding how various forms of violence affect how women participate in the electoral process. Methodologically, I am interested in the use of causal inference and machine learning.
I was born and raised in California, and attended Oregon State University where I obtained a bachelors degree in Political Science and New Media Communications in 2021. In my free time, I enjoy trail riding, running and downhill and cross-country skiing. I am also a huge fan of Formula1 (papaya are my colors).
