Biography

I am a third-year PhD student in the joint Peace Studies and Political Science program at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies in the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs. My doctoral research agenda examines the intersection of forced migration, conflict memory and transnational legal mobilization. I am a Dean’s Fellowship recipient at the University of Notre Dame and a current Justice Fellow at the Institute for Social Concerns. I am also a member of the African Governance Initiative Lab.

Before joining the University of Notre Dame, I completed a Master of Science in Sociology, and the McNair Scholars program with dual degrees in highest honors (magna cum laude) from the University of Texas San Antonio.
