About

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Humanitarian Policy and Practice at University College London (UCL), with a particular interest in examining how colonial legacies continue to shape the modern humanitarian sector. I graduated in 2024 from the University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP) with a First Class BA in International Politics. My academic work has focused on global power dynamics, inequality, and the political structures that influence humanitarian action.
