I am a PhD Researcher in the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds. My research interests examine the intersection of conflict, peacebuilding, and global health. Currently, I'm studying the role of global health diplomacy in achieving peacebuilding in post-conflict northern Uganda. I have a Master of Science in Global Health from Duke University, where I examined the barriers to the integration of the uterine balloon tamponade into South Africa and Ghana's health systems to manage postpartum haemorrhage. My undergraduate degree in sociology and religion, with a minor in global health, cultures, and society is from Emory University. I also work with the United Kingdom Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) as Chair of the Student Advisory Group and International Student Ambassador. Representing over 600,000 international students in the United Kingdom, my work with UKCISA aims to elevate the standard of the international student experience by informing policy through high-level discussions and roundtable meetings with the government, UKCISA's Board of Trustees, and education sector committees. I have conducted mixed methods research in Somaliland, Somalia, South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya in disciplines such as conflict, health, gender, education, and livelihoods. Further, I have extensive fieldwork experience in Rajasthan, India. As part of the Akshada Program, implemented by The Antara Foundation, I trained health workers in 18 villages of Jhalawar's Khanpur sector in the use of the Rajsangam mobile application to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
