Tulane University

I am doctoral candidate in the field of Urban Studies at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. My research focuses on Urban Change in Africa and the socio-spatial dimensions of the built environment. I hold a Master's Degree in Urban Studies from University of New Orleans (2015) and a B.A. in Philosophy & Fine Arts from Brandeis University (2006). I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ghana from 2009-2012 and recently returned from a year abroad as a Fulbright Grantee (2019-2020). I have a passion for helping students from all different kinds of backgrounds gain confidence in expressing their ideas through writing and achieving their higher education goals. Past advisees have been admitted to: Stanford, UCLA, UC-Berkeley, Northwestern, University of Virginia, Vanderbilt, USC, among many other top colleges and universities!
