This page contains a brief description of my current professional research (under construction).
Voting Rights and Redistricting
I have worked as a research analyst with Collingwood Research for several years, where I conduct research on voting demographics and the redistricting process. This work builds on my academic interest and work with Loren Collingwood in studying local politics and election disparities. In addition to providing support for VRA-related litigation, we have also built maps for multiple redistricting cycles, notably West Contra Costa School District and the Roswell Independent School District.
These maps served as our deliverables for both projects, respectively. Each of these allowed clients to easily examine the proposed districts' demographics and boundaries. We have used this basic leaflet template for various projects as they have proven to be accessible and effective visualizations throughout our redistricting work.
R Package Development
I also work on developing, updating, and maintaining R packages. In terms of public packages, this includes the eiCompare and eiExpand packages, the industry standard packages used in racially polarized voting analysis. These packages are currently used in ongoing redistricting cases in Texas and North Carolina.
I have also worked with the redist package to develop workflows for generating voting maps through Monte Carlo simulations.
