I have facilitated numerous workshops with political elites, civil society leaders and humanitarian professionals on options for conflict-sensitive policy making (2011-2013; 2020). I co-facilitated workshops with government officials and armed opposition in South Sudan to prepare them for humanitarian access negotiations (2015).

I have significant experience training enumerators to administer household surveys and interpreters to assist with focus groups and semi-structured interviews. I have also led workshops on monitoring and evaluation, which have involved both skills-building and facilitated exercises to design monitoring systems collaboratively within teams.

Teaching in higher-education settings is one of my great passions. Starting in September 2024, I will be Adjunct Assistant Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, teaching the graduate course 'Data and Conflict.'

Past positions include:

▪ Teaching Fellow at Yale University for Development under Fire, an advanced political science course for undergraduates (Fall 2018). Two of my 23 students described me as the best Teaching Fellow that had ever taught them. Three-quarters rated my instruction as ‘excellent’ with the remainder evaluating it as ‘very good’.

▪ Guest speaker on humanitarian affairs and peace mediation at: Duke University Law School (2023); Williams College (2021); Brigham Young University (2021); Yale University (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020); The Fletcher School at Tufts University (2014).

▪ Teaching Assistant to Prof. Ian Johnstone at the Fletcher School at Tufts University for International Organizations and Actors in Global Governance, courses for graduate students and mid-career professionals (Fall 2010, Spring 2011).
