I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University, in Toronto, Ontario. I am currently serving as director for the Politics and Governance program.

My scholarly interests include a variety of questions related to the study of the attitudes, motivations and behaviours of voters and non-voters at the local and federal levels in Canada. 

I was the Principal Investigator of the Canadian Municipal Election Study, as well as the 2014 Toronto Election Study.  I am a co-investigator on the Canadian Municipal Barometer, the Electronic Elections Project and the Multilevel Democracy Project. I recently held an Early Researcher Award from the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation and Science.

I received my Ph.D. in political science from the University of Western Ontario.  I also have an M.A. in political science from the University of Waterloo, and a BSc. (Eng.) in biological engineering from the University of Guelph.
