I am Project Coordinator at SOAS University of London's Strategic Concept for the Removal or Arms and Proliferation Project (SCRAP Weapons) and a PhD candidate in Global Diplomacy at the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy, SOAS University.

I have served for years as speechwriter for a government's Ambassador to the United Nations and have worked in the Vatican Dicastery for Communications as Executive Project Assistant on Internet Governance issues and Social Media Editor.

My research interests include international relations, cultural diplomacy, the United Nations, and general and complete disarmament. I have recently co-authored an article with H.E. Maritza Chan Valverde, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Costa Rica to the United Nations in New York, titled "Represented but not always heard: an analysis of the progress of gender equality at the United Nations through the lens of the Treaty on the Prohibition on Nuclear Weapons", published on the Zeitschrift für Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Journal in April 2023 (DOI: 10.1007/s42597-023-00095-x).
