It has been a long standing wish of mine to become an academic. It gives me pleasure to learn and because of this I am able to give back that which has been given to me both educationally and philosophically through teaching and the continuation of research. This motivates my success. I have developed strong leadership skills and in this regard have actively contributed to teaching and the assessment of a variety of courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels at several Universities in England since 2007 while completing research studies part-time. This practical teaching experience, combined with my Postgraduate Teaching Certification and commitment to teaching, brought about a nomination for a Teaching Excellence Award. Also to accentuate my teaching, and given my strong analytical and methodological abilities, I was invited to participate in an Economic and Social Research Council workshop the summers of 2013-2014 on quantitative research methods. The output of the workshop was the development of innovative materials employing quantitative research in international relations and foreign policy for teaching. I was consistently received excellent qualitative feedback and quantitative rankings in student module evaluations, as well as excellent peer review assessments by staff colleagues

My research concerns law and policy reform. It is interdisciplinary with an emphasis in comparative law and politics, and conflict studies. Within this field my interests focus on public international law, international human rights, theories of criminal justice on war crimes (cultural memory, rape and religion), and the negotiation process during political violence. I am also interested in the intersection of jurisprudence with political perspectives on law and the influence of socio-legal studies in conflict and security.
