Bio

I received my BA and MA in Middle East Studies from Brandeis University in 2009 and 2010 respectively. During a brief hiatus from academia I worked as a grant writer in a non-profit and was also employed at the International School at the University of Haifa.  In 2012 I began the Phd program in the Government and Politics Department at the University of Maryland College Park. Additionally, I am affiliated with the Gildenhorn Institute for Israel studies.
