Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
​
My research focuses broadly on the decision by terrorist organizations to deploy women and children in various roles. Specifically, my dissertation explores the multiple roles, both violent and non-violent, that terrorist organizations assign to female members.
