I’m a 2nd year student in the Geospatial Intelligence master's program at Johns Hopkins University, where I focus on human rights investigations and remote sensing for humanitarian contexts. I come from a journalism and human rights background and have used satellite imagery and open-source intelligence techniques in my work on Syria, Sudan, Nagorno-Karabakh, Ukraine, and, most recently, Gaza. Prior to DC, I was a Fulbright scholar in Germany where I taught geospatial research methods to master’s students at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and worked at a human rights nonprofit in Berlin. I serve as first author on a peer-reviewed journal article that was recently accepted into a public health journal. My work focuses on investigating alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international criminal law, but my interests range widely from water/food security to women’s and children’s rights, sustainable energy and climate change, environmental protection, animal welfare, and migration (refugee/IDP rights).
