I am a recent M.A. Graduate from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). I received my degree in International Economics and International Development, with a focus on social policies and programs in Sub-Saharan Africa. Prior to graduate school, I served as an Education Volunteer in Ethiopia. I spent a great deal of my service focusing on gender equality issues and girl's education and empowerment. I hope to continue to work on gender and youth issues throughout my career.
