Dedicated to Advancing Human Rights and Democratic Principles GloballyFrom coordinating high-level collaborations with 450+ civil society organizations for the U.S. President's Summit for Democracy to delivering impactful addresses at the UN Human Rights Council, I am driven by a profound commitment to promoting accountability, justice, and human rights protections across borders. With expertise honed through experience at leading institutions like the U.S. Department of State, United Nations Watch, and top research universities, I bring a multidisciplinary lens and nuanced understanding of the intricate dynamics influencing human rights and democratic activism on a global scale. My core competencies lie in stakeholder engagement, cross-functional partnership building, policy analysis, research and program management within the international affairs and human rights spheres. I leverage proficiency in areas like international law, UN governance processes, technological impacts on human rights, and ideological dynamics shaping geopolitics.During my tenure at United Nations Watch, I spearheaded comprehensive research analyzing over 200 UN resolutions, identifying systemic flaws impeding democracy and human rights advocacy - insights that catalyzed impactful products for promoting reforms. At the Leadership Conference, my investigations illuminated the adverse impacts of allocating $5 billion in military-grade surveillance technologies to civilian law enforcement.I'm particularly interested in cross-pollinating ideas surrounding AI's transformative potential and risks within the international justice/accountability space, responsible development of disruptive technologies, and novel frameworks for promoting universal human rights as transnational challenges evolve.
