About me:
I'm a doctoral researcher at The Geneva Graduate Institute (IHEID). My research is multi-disciplinary and draws on concepts/methods from Political Science, International Development and Economics. The research is heavily rooted in and informed by ground-level development practice. Before the PhD, I worked as a Monitoring and Evaluation professional in Sierra Leone, Lesotho, South Sudan and DRC. I hold a Masters in International Economics and Conflict Management from Johns Hopkins University, SAIS and a Bachelors in Social Sciences from Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
