Hello,

I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University. I’m interested political economy, the politics of foreign aid, and social policy in the Middle East. My dissertation project focuses on subsidy reform in Jordan and Egypt.

Prior to my graduate studies, I worked on USAID projects in the MENA/Afghanistan region. I was a 2019-2020 Fulbright Student Fellow in Jordan, where I researched the politics of Syrian refugee labor permits and closed professions. I graduated with a BA in International Political Economy and Middle East/North Africa Studies from Pitzer College.
