I am a Ph.D. candidate in Population, Health & Place in the Spatial Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California. My research is focused on understanding the facilitators and barriers to quality health services, and I aim to improve access for hard-to-reach and conflict-affected populations in low- and middle-income countries. I have worked with with international non-governmental organizations on health system intervention and evaluations, and my experiences living and working in Central Asia, East Africa, and West Africa have shaped my research questions.
