I am an Adjunct Lecturer at the Center for Jewish Civilization in Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service where I teach courses on Israel and the Middle East. In addition, I am a PhD candidate in Government & Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park and a Graduate Fellow in Advanced Israel Studies. Previously, I taught at American University’s Center for Israel Studies. My analyses appeared in venues such as The Atlantic, The Jerusalem Post, The Forward, and Washington Jewish Week. I hold an M.A. in International Relations, Economics, and Middle East Studies from the Johns Hopkins University (SAIS) and B.A. in Philosophy and Communications from Saint Francis College, New York. I speak Hebrew and Arabic.
