As a professor of International Studies, my work sits at the intersection of global politics, cultural exchange, and economic systems. I specialize in analyzing how nations interact—through diplomacy, trade, conflict, and cooperation—and how those interactions shape the lives of individuals across borders. My research focuses on transnational governance, migration patterns, and the evolving role of international institutions in a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape.

In the classroom, I strive to cultivate curiosity and critical thinking. I encourage students to challenge assumptions, explore diverse perspectives, and connect theory to real-world events. Whether we’re dissecting the impact of climate policy on developing nations or tracing the ripple effects of regional conflicts, my goal is to equip students with the analytical tools and ethical frameworks needed to navigate complexity.

Beyond teaching and research, I consult with NGOs and policy groups, helping translate academic insights into actionable strategies. I also mentor students pursuing careers in diplomacy, humanitarian work, and global development.

International Studies isn’t just about understanding the world—it’s about engaging with it. I see my role as a bridge: connecting ideas, people, and possibilities across borders, and inspiring the next generation to do the same.
