Co-creating solutions for more equitable, resilient futures.
About
I’m a Ph.D. researcher who has spent the past decade working alongside communities in post-conflict, displacement, and other fragile settings to understand what helps children and families under extreme stress. Across projects, I’m interested in approaches that address the root causes of risk, reduce vulnerability, and strengthen the systems that support development, health, and well-being over the long term.
I bring that same rigor and empathy to translate complex data into impactful, human-centered results. I believe the most enduring solutions start with how people actually live, connect, and make decisions, and my unique background is dedicated to uncovering the insights that drive those solutions forward.
Approach
I start from people’s lived realities. I work with communities and stakeholders to ask crucial questions, gather the right mix of qualitative and quantitative evidence, and make sense of experiences shaping everyday life. My Ph.D. training keeps the methods rigorous; my implementation experience keeps the work grounded. Together, we translate what we learn into practical choices followed by testing and refining so solutions are not only impactful now, but sustainable over time.
Experience
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with partners in West and East Africa, Latin America, the Pacific, and refugee settings in the U.S., Nepal, and Lebanon to design, test, and refine programs that support children, families, and communities. Explore my full CV for details.
