Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science and Scientific Computing at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

I’m broadly interested in racial and ethnic politics, political psychology, and public opinion. My dissertation research employs multiple methods, ranging from quantitative survey data, qualitative in-depth interviews, experiments, and text-analysis.

Prior to my studies, I worked as a research assistant studying journalism and media at Pew Research Center. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles.

I was born in Homs, Syria, and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I’m currently based in Chicago, IL, where I spend my free time watching movies or by the lake.
