Hi! I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Government. My research examines the psychological roots of territorial conflict - why do people feel so strongly about disputed territory, and under what conditions can compromise garner public support? I have studied this question across an array of contexts, from India to South America to fishing communities in rural Canada. Before starting my Ph.D., I earned a master's degree in public affairs from Princeton and worked at an NGO facilitating unofficial U.S.-China and U.S.-Russia diplomatic exchanges. I also have experience working with the U.S. federal government and teaching English in China. I'm an avid musician in my spare time and once held a side gig playing piano for improv comedy shows in New York City. As a former hiring manager for internships in my old job, I'm passionate about empowering students to pursue their dream careers, especially in public service and the non-profit/NGO sector. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to chat about the Gov concentration, careers, grad school, music, or anything else!
