Where I work and why it matters
I am an undergraduate studying International Relations at Florida International University. My work sits at the intersection of humanitarian policy, political analysis, and disability inclusion: how states fail their people, how informal systems fill the gaps, how the institutions meant to respond actually behave, and what happens to the people with disabilities who are most affected when they fail.
That last question is not an afterthought. People with disabilities face some of the highest risks in any crisis and are often the last consideration in its response. Making humanitarian action genuinely inclusive is a central thread of my work, reflected in my current certification track in disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction alongside core humanitarian standards.
Institutional details most people find boring are where political power actually lives, and someone should be paying attention to them.
I am also focused on Sudan, where informal economic networks sustained communities through a decade of crisis, and on democratic erosion, which I track through a structured indicator framework of my own design. I aim to work in humanitarian policy with international organizations.
