As the Deputy Editor of International Security, I manage the editing and production of articles accepted for publication to the journal. I work closely with authors on all aspects of print production, making substantive comments and contributions to their articles. I also oversee the journal’s relationships with the typesetter and MIT Press.From 2000 to 2010 I was the publications manager at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. While there, I edited ten 100-page annual reports, twenty newsletters, and 30 working papers. I was the rapporteur for a three-day conference in France on "The Future of U.S. Foreign Policy," authoring a 20-page report on the conference proceedings. I also spearheaded the Center’s logo redesign, and was the editor of the book, In Theory and in Practice: Harvard’s Center for International Affairs, published by Harvard University Press in honor of the Center's 50th anniversary.Before coming to the Belfer Center, I was a freelance academic editor working with scholars on books and journal articles on international relations and comparative politics. I have edited a dozen academic books published by Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Princeton University Press, and University of California Press, as well as journal articles in World Politics, African Affairs, Journal of Political Economy, and the American Journal of Political Science.After receiving my undergraduate degree and studying abroad in Kenya, I was a research assistant in the African Studies department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
