INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT & RESEARCHER

Peacebuilding, Conflict, and Governance

I am a Washington DC-based independent consultant and researcher specializing in peacebuilding, conflict, and governance. I offer consulting services to multilateral organizations, not-for-profits, the private sector, and governments, drawing on my 14 years of professional experience in international development and international affairs. My expertise includes peacebuilding and peace negotiations, conflict analysis and conflict sensitivity, democratic governance, and civil society strengthening. I have worked at the global policy level, across regions, and in fragile and conflict-affected contexts, including over a decade on the ground in South and Southeast Asia. I am an adaptive program manager and technical advisor with experience leading projects or advising project design and implementation. As a certified mediator and skilled facilitator, I have a history of successfully delivering training, dialogues for peacebuilding, and stakeholder consultations for decision-making.

I am a skilled mixed-methods researcher (PhD) with publishing experience. When I’m not working on my current book project (How Civil Wars End: The Influence of Rebel Groups), I’m on adventures with my husband and sons, with whom I share a sense of wanderlust.
