Bio
Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at the George Washington University in Washington, DC, where I study the causes and consequences of violence. I am also a PhD candidate-in-residence with the Institute of Security and Conflict Studies at George Washington University. For the 2018-2019 academic year, I was selected as a Minerva/Jennings Randolph Peace Scholar at the United States Institute of Peace.
My work has previously been supported by the Cosmos Club Foundation, the Bridging the Gap Project, the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace, the Les Aspin ’60 Summer Fellowship, and the Georg W. Leitner Program in International and Comparative Political Economy at Yale.
Before beginning my doctoral work, I served four years on Capitol Hill as a Senior Legislative Assistant and Appropriations Associate, and I have worked as a policy advisor on presidential and congressional campaigns.
In my spare time, I love to hike, cook, and travel. I have completed several marathons and half-Ironman triathlons, and I am an indoor cycling instructor (Spinning(R), Coach-by-Color(R), and CPR/AED certified).
