I research the legal and strategic development of the international refugee regime in the U.S., Middle East, and Europe. I am broadly interested in designs of international organizations; comparative constitutionalism; and conceptions and applications of law that mediate between citizen and stranger within varied boundaries of state sovereignty.
My dissertation has been supported by Notre Dame's International Security Center, where I am a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow, the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice and the Center for the Study of Religion. As a Marshall Scholar, I received an MSc in Forced Migration from the University of Oxford and an MSc in Middle East Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies. My B.S. in Economics and B.A. in Political Science are from Arizona State University. Prior to coming to Princeton, I worked as a consultant to UNHCR’s Division of International Protection and in philanthropic development.
