After earning her graduate degree in 2009, she began publishing pieces of her thesis as articles on Pollster.com and the The Next Right, a conservative blog dedicated to developing young conservatives who could help rebuild the Republican Party. In 2010, her findings were mentioned by James Carville, a prominent Democrat political strategist and commentator. That led to various news programs and journalists asking for her insights; she started appearing on television news shows as a guest commentator. She subsequently received $1 million from a Republican super PAC to research the youth vote and served as its Communications Director while still working with the Winston Group; she began to appear as a political pundit on various news programs including CNN's State of the Union, Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor, [CNN]]'s Piers Morgan, and HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.
