Hello and welcome to my site! I am a Political Science PhD Candidate (ABD) in International Relations and Comparative Politics at the Ohio State University. Formerly, I was a Princeton in Africa Fellow at the International Rescue Committee in Nairobi and received my BA from Case Western Reserve University.

My dissertation fieldwork in South Africa and Kenya has been funded by the RISC-RISE Consortium, the Mershon Center for International Security, and the International Research and Scholarship Grant among others. For 2025-2026, I am a Presidential Fellow, the most prestigious award given by the graduate school at Ohio State.
