Hello! I'm a researcher and analyst with 15 years of experience, having lived and worked in Pakistan, Malaysia, Australia, Russia, and the United States. I started my career in multinational companies across Asia and Australia before moving into the UN system, where I spent seven years at UNDP.
I have worked across digital policy, communications, change management, and monitoring and evaluation, with a growing focus on accountability and investigations. I've conducted field research, built assessment frameworks, and reviewed everything from briefing notes to published reports. I hold a Master's in International Crime and Justice, awarded with Distinction, with coursework in Investigative Technique, Financial Crime and Investigation, and International Inspection and Oversight. I hold a second Master's-equivalent degree in Marketing, with additional training in monitoring and evaluation.
I'm interested in how systems work, how they can be misused, and what it takes to make complex processes more efficient, transparent, and fair. That interest has taken different shapes over the years: assessing risk, evaluating what interventions actually work, and increasingly, understanding accountability and oversight mechanisms designed to catch things when they go wrong. I tend to favor fewer, better indicators over exhaustive measurement, and I'm skeptical of metrics that exist because data is available rather than because they tell you something useful.
