I am an experienced research and development professional with ten years in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, transitioning into the fields of Sustainable International Development, International Conservation, Green Technologies and Approaches, and Conflict And Coexistence. After living in Tanzania in 2002, it has been important that I learn about international affairs, global health, international aid, and ways that we can do better, globally. With these goals in mind, I am pursuing dual Master of Arts Degrees in Sustainable International Development, and Conflict and Coexistence at The Heller School of Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. I am interested in connecting with those who are working in the fields of international public health, sustainable development, dispute resolution and community rebuilding, post-conflict areas, mediation, dialogue, negotiation and more sustainable approaches to aid. Also of interest to me are individuals and groups working with government and military projects, think tanks, and intelligence agencies; particularly with the interest of improving outcomes, increasing efficiency and efficacy, bridging functional areas, and using monitoring and evaluaton strategies to create better policies and practices.
