- About Me -
Welcome! I currently serve the US State Department as a Analytics Project Manager in the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations, where I focus on the Global Fragility Act, and the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda.
I previously served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Hidden Costs of Security Project, affiliated with the School of International Service at American University.
I received my Ph.D. in political science from the University of Iowa, along with a certificate in Gender, Women, and Sexuality studies.
My research is centered around gender, conflict, and international institutions. My ongoing research projects encompass a broad spectrum, including the examination of how states' commitments to the UN Treaty CEDAW influence women's rights, the relationship between rebel commitments to human rights and violence against civilians, and the way peace agreements following civil wars can affect the duration of peace and contribute to a sense of healing among citizens. In essence, my curiosity lies in understanding how gender dynamics both shape and are shaped by institutions, and how these institutions, in turn, impact outcomes for women.
