ABOUT
PhD candidate at George Washington University, specializing in comparative politics, international relations, and Middle East studies.
Past life: While in undergrad at NYU, I researched experiences of political agency in north and south Cyprus, and interviewed Omani university students about their sense of national identity. After graduation I worked for the Daily News Egypt newspaper in Cairo, then free-lanced in Sanaa before returning to the US to start my PhD.
