Welcome!
I am a post-doctoral researcher at LMU Munich, where I am part of a research team working on the resourcing of international organizations, especially pertaining to global refugee policy and international migration. I received my PhD from the University of Rochester in 2017. My research focuses on international institutions - in particular the United Nations aid agencies- and the role that small states and international bureaucrats play in shaping policy agendas and outcomes.
In part, my interest in the UN and its bureaucracy developed prior to graduate school, while working at the International Peace Institute in New York on UN responses to transnational threats and challenges. My current research combines quantitative methods and my experience with UN policy-making processes to explore mechanisms through which both donor and recipient states informally influence the UN system.
