Hello, I am Liz.
I am a Political Science Ph.D. candidate at the University of
California - Irvine. Prior to attending UCI, I received a master's in
Communications from California State University - Fullerton. I also
hold a bachelor's in Philosophy from California State Polytechnic
University - Pomona.
My research is focused on institutions and information in the United
States political system. I study how American political institutions
are threatened and undermined in contemporary contexts.
Before entering academia, I was a wedding and portrait photographer
for over ten years. I am also an active calligrapher and lettering
artist. Most importantly, I am a dog-mom to two German Shepherds:
Lestrade & Dantes.
