About

Researcher and analyst with a background in Ancient & Classical Studies, archaeology, international relations, and security. Fourteen years of ESL teaching sharpened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and adapt to diverse audiences.

I specialise in foreign policy, conflict analysis, peacebuilding, democratisation, and explainer‑style writing. My work blends historical depth, analytical precision, and clear communication - ideal for clients who need structured, evidence-driven insight in a crowded information landscape.
