About

I focus on the intersection of diplomacy, religion, and finance, examining how policy, economics, and identity interact in shaping the Middle East’s regional order. While my current focus includes economic integration and the Abraham Accords, my interests are grounded in broader questions of geopolitics, governance, and strategic cooperation. I’m motivated by globally focused opportunities that translate analysis into real-world policy impact.
