Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Potsdam, working on the ENSURED project. I recently defended my PhD dissertation in the Department of Political Science at Michigan State Univeristy.
My research examines the political economy of international institutions and organizations, with a focus on human rights, gender equality, and trade politics.
My current research centers on three key areas: 1) gender equality policymaking in trade agreements, 2) UN Secretary-General official visits, and 3) UN human rights treaty bodies and mechanisms. I’m particularly interested in how individual-level characteristics shape policy decisions and outcomes in global governance.
