My personal interests are wide-ranging. Living in Michigan for 20+ years turned me in to a lover of all Big Ten! In the fall, you can find me rooting for the Michigan State Spartans, but I'm sure I'll be rooting for the Memphis Tigers soon. On my days off, I practice (and sometimes teach) yoga. I am a certified 200 Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, and, in my spare time, I teach yoga in Memphis at Hot Yoga Plus and you can book me for private yoga session on my yoga website. If you’re in the Memphis area and want an in home session, I can come to you! If you are not local to Memphis, I also do virtual sessions. Outside of yoga, I also love to travel, read, cook and go see live music--Memphis is great for that!
My professional interests are wide-ranging as well. Generally, I am a lover of all things local politics, particularly on how institutional relationships between groups and levels of government impact policymaking. I am listed on Women Also Know Stuff
and POC Also Know Stuff so if you're looking for an expert on emergency management, collaboration or intergovernmental relations--I'm happy to help.
Please free to contact me to chat about my research on federalism and its impact on judicial decisions, the politics of emergency management, tax increment financing and economic development or any urban politics or local government issues.
