My professional interests are multi-disciplinary, focusing on responsible business practices, livelihood security and financial inclusion of vulnerable groups, forced migration, and the meaningful inclusion of women in fragile and conflict-affected environments. I am an Associate Researcher at the Center for Migration, Diversity, and Justice at the Brussels School of Governance, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Previously, I was a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science, IDEAS, and Visiting Fellow at the Wilfred Martens Centre for European Studies.
My academic contributions include teaching courses on the UN and Global Governance, Crisis Management, and International Organizations, advising students on the writing of their dissertations, contributing to research projects, and conducting and presenting my research at conferences and academic journals. As a practitioner, I have conducted peace and conflict assessments and strategic evaluations in the fields of humanitarian assistance and development coordination for the International Labour Organisation, International Organization for Migration, European Parliament, German development agency (GIZ), SPARK, and Verite.
I have held pro bono roles, such as serving as Chair of the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education, Working Group on Business for Peace, Co-Chair of the International Crisis Group's Ambassador Council, Co-Founder of the Women in Foreign Policy Turkey Chapter, and Administrator of the Syria Support Network. I am a member of the network of Academic Friends of the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office, Hollings Center groups on Profits to Peace, Iraq's Foreign Policy and Economic Challenges, and U.S.-Egypt Relations; Middle East Research Network on Internal Displacement; Migration, Business and Society; and Research Centre for Gender, Diversity, and Intersectionality, Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
I received my PhD from the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick. My dissertation focused on the impact of the Turkish private sector on human (economic) security and peace in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. I received my MA in International Peace and Conflict Resolution and BA in International Relations from American University, Washington, DC.
Originally from Texas, my experience traveling and working in the U.S., Central America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, and Turkey has shaped my understanding of the frameworks necessary to ensure people can live a life of dignity, free from fear and want.
