I am currently a student at the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies pursuing an MA in International Security.
I hold a BA in International Studies with minors in Anthropology and History from the University of Denver, summa cum laude. My undergraduate honors thesis focused on Arctic politics and conflict mitigation.
My areas of focus include Arctic Security, the Middle East and Islamic politics, the Nordic countries, gender and conflict, and human rights.
I am currently working as a research aide at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for International Futures. I am a qualitative coder and have worked on such projects as the Perceived Mass Atrocities Dataset and Diplometrics, both of which have received funding from the US State Department.
