I am a passionate and dedicated academic with a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of global politics and conflict resolution. Growing up in East Africa, I experienced firsthand the challenges faced by the region, which inspired my lifelong pursuit of studying and addressing these issues.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Master of Arts in International Relations and Conflict Resolution. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Political Science with an emphasis in International Relations at Colorado State University, allowing me to further explore the intricacies of global affairs.

Over the years, I have developed a specialized focus on the analysis of conflicts in East Africa and the Middle East. In particular, I have become increasingly interested in the impact of US-Chinese engagement on these regions. This interest has led to a rich body of work, with numerous publications featuring my expert insights on the situations in Yemen and Ethiopia.

As both an academic and an individual with firsthand experience of the region, I have established a reputation for providing nuanced and perceptive analyses of the geopolitical dynamics at play in East Africa and the Middle East. I am committed to contributing meaningfully to the understanding and resolution of complicated global issues, and I continue to build my expertise in the field of international relations and conflict studies.
