Director of Development and Strategy
I joined Rebuilding Alliance as a short-term writer. During my research, I learned what an amazing job RA was doing to safeguard the rights of the Palestinians.
I have background studies and work experience in Political Science and International Relations, with expertise in South Asia and the Middle East regions, nuclear non-proliferation, and strategic studies. My co-edited volume, Emerging Scholarship on the Middle East and Central Asia: Moving from the Periphery provides a unique perspective on issues facing the region.
