Research & Editing
My academic background combines psychology, sociology, international relations and policy analysis. My projects often strive to explore the intersectional factors involved in any topic. My work is influenced by constructivist theory and will often strive to incorporate framing and discourse analysis. In addition to my own research I also provide German and French to English text interpretation and article drafting for politicians and journalists.
