I’m excited to share that I recently transitioned to a new role as a Research Assistant with Pew Research Center’s News and Information Team. In this new position I’ll explore the contemporary media landscape and how people across the world access news related to numerous spheres of public life. This comes as I complete an eight month internship with Pew’s Data Labs Team, where I got to work on projects utilizing cutting edge computational social science methods to analyze media and online behavior. I’m grateful to the numerous people who’ve guided and assisted me along this journey. I’m especially grateful for the guidance of Daina Eglitis, who fostered my interest in social research as my professor and capstone advisor during my time in undergrad with the George Washington University Department of Sociology. I’m also grateful for my family, who have tirelessly supported me along the way. They rock! In all, I’m super excited for what’s to come and look forward to growing in this new role.

Our latest Pew Research Center analysis describes several ways Americans’ views about religion in public life are shifting: 📈 Growing shares say religion is gaining influence in American life. In Feb. 2024, 18% of U.S. adults said religion was gaining influence. That was the lowest level we had seen in more than two decades. A year later, in a February 2025 survey, 31% of U.S. adults said religion was gaining influence in American life – the highest figure we’ve seen in 15 years. 📈 Growing shares have a positive view of religion's role in society. The shares of Americans expressing positive views of religion in 2024 and 2025 are up significantly from 2022 and 2019. 📈 Growing shares say there is a great deal or some conflict between their religious beliefs and mainstream culture. Feeling at least somewhat in conflict with American culture because of personal religious beliefs is now a majority view (held by 58% of Americans). These evolving attitudes aren't confined to a particular group. They are growing among Americans of both political parties, all age categories, and religious and nonreligious backgrounds. Here's the new report: pewrsr.ch/3J3oE2s
