Hello! I’m Jen. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University, specializing in American Politics and Political Methodology. I hold a BA in Quantitative Social Science from Dartmouth College, where I also completed minors in Government and Japanese.

My research uses surveys and text analysis methods to study politician messaging in the United States and how Democrats and Republicans perceive their statements. I am particularly interested in politician incentives to be uncivil and the consequences of their words.
