About

I am a Ph.D. student in Political Science and Graduate Teaching Assistant at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. I'm fluent in German and Dutch and can speak Russian at an intermediate level. My research uses critical security theories to understand the contours of security expertise in the Arctic - specifically what the role of security experts are in the co-creation of Arctic security. I work with Dr. Wilfred Greaves at the North American and Arctic Defense and Security Network (NAADSN) on human and climate security. I received my BA from Boston University in International Relations and German Studies and my MA from the University of Groningen in International Security.
