I am a doctoral candidate in International Relations, following an early career in policymaking, research, and non-profit leadership across the US, Denmark, and Australia. My research recovers the international thought of twentieth-century intellectuals and activists who forged political relationships across racialized divides, deepening historical and theoretical understanding of global racial hierarchy.
I hold a BA in Ethics, Politics, and Economics from Yale University and an MPhil in International Relations from the University of Oxford. In addition to international relations, my academic and professional background and interests include ethical governance, economic and social policy, and agricultural sustainability. I am from Sydney, Australia. I speak and write fluent French and conversational Danish.
