I later worked with the United Nations Executive Office of the Secretary General, focusing on high-level decision-making and senior mechanisms. My work with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UNESCWA) involved operationalizing the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus in conflict areas. At Harvard I worked with multiple research centers and professors, focusing on Conflict and the Middle East, Economics, and Mediation.
