I am currently the senior research assistant at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar. My research interests are Middle East politics, with a focus on the Maghreb, political economy, media and press freedom, migration, refugee communities, civil-society state relations, and human rights. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Virginia in May 2010 with two honors degrees in Political Science and French and from the University of Oxford in July 2015 with a masters degree in Modern Middle Eastern Studies. I then worked as the Academic Director for the School for International Training program in Journalism and New Media and as a lecturer in media and politics at the Ecole de gouvernance et d’economie(EGE) in Rabat, Morocco.
