About
 Hello again! 

Some more about me: I love cats. Also, I'm a dual American & Canadian citizen.

I am currently the Communications Manager and a Research Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to say I love my job, which I've been at in some form since the fall of 2018, & will happily talk to you about it for as long as you'll listen to me.

In 2024, I completed a Masters of Advanced Studies in International Affairs at the University of California, San Diego, where my regional focus was Southeast Asia and my career track was Security of the Asia-Pacific. 

Through the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy Rising Experts program, I was the 2023 Economics Expert. Once a month, I wrote op-eds about current economic affairs. You can find those here. 

Through my undergraduate program, I studied economics & political science with a focus on European-Asian relations at Sciences Po's Le Havre campus in the region of Normandy, France for two years. I completed the the program with two years  in Vancouver, Canada, at the University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business, where I specialized in marketing. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics & a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours in marketing. 

As someone who grew up in suburban America, living in Europe is at least 15% of my personality :) 

Some other things about me that aren't 'I lived in Europe':
  • Extremely Online™
  • Firm believer in interdisciplinary social science studies and all the geo-, socio-, political, economic combinations, especially in the Asia-Pacific
  • Uses this guy too much: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
  • Photographer, somewhere between a hobby & a side hustle
  • Cook, definitely a hobby, with an Instagram to document it all
  • Passionate about reducing inequality in all senses of the word
  • Years of working in social media means instinctively replacing 'and' with '&' even if there's no character count for whatever I'm writing
