About
I completed my B.A. in Economics with a minor in Political Science at New York University Abu Dhabi. My background is anchored in extensive international field and research exposure, having analyzed institutional structures, market dynamics, and regional frameworks across Chicago, Washington D.C., New York, London, Nairobi, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi.
In today's landscape, economics and politics do not operate in isolation because they actively shape each other. My work focuses on where they collide. Specifically, I look at how a shift in state policy alters international market structures, and how corporate strategies adapt to institutional volatility. By anchoring my analysis in data driven modeling and historical trends, I look past the noise to help organizations make strategic choices when conditions are fluid. I plan to deepen this practical approach at Johns Hopkins SAIS.
