Prior to earning my Ph.D. in Government at Georgetown, I received an M.Litt. (with distinction) in Peace and Conflict Studies from the School of International Relations at the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom. I also hold an A.B., cum laude, in Government from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.
Outside of academia, I have served as a training facilitator for the US State Department and worked as a philanthropy consultant, helping teams advise international non-profit organizations and corporations on achieving their goals in fundraising and social engagement.
