I earned my Doctorate in Political Science from Temple University in 2019, and since then, my professional journey has seamlessly navigated the realms of academia and the corporate sector. My substantive research interests lie at the intersection of political behavior and contentious politics.

In my corporate roles, I was pivotal in establishing an internal communications team to build and roll out a knowledge management portal and focus on disseminating insights derived from consumer research. This initiative significantly streamlined information flow and decision-making processes.

  My corporate endeavors extended beyond communications, encompassing agile and bespoke consumer research projects. From conceiving data science initiatives to orchestrating strategic communications and research pursuits. Throughout, I endeavored to infuse academic principles into my roles, bridging the gap between rigorous research and corporate pragmatism, whether it meant that research needed to be done to understand the strategy behind mass communications or reading up on management and leadership skills in building high-performing teams.

Despite my daily duties, I maintained a steadfast commitment to scholarly pursuits. Balancing the demands of both worlds, I continued to contribute to academic publications in the ambits that I had focused on prior to working in the corporate sector.

This multifaceted journey reflects my dedication to fostering a symbiotic relationship between academic depth and rigor, and non-academic pragmatism.
