I am a Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Bern, Institute of Geography's Political Urbanism and Sustainable Spatial Development Group. My research interests sit at the intersection of Urban Redevelopment, Land Policy, and Social Reproduction Feminism. I use public policy analysis and qualitative case study methodologies. 

I teach Masters and Bachelor-level courses in Human Geography with a focus on Land Policy, Commons, and Social Reproduction in the urban. I have supervised several bachelors and masters students working on wide-range of subjects on housing, care, and land use planning.  

I received my Ph.D. from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Department of Urban and Regional Planning. Before my doctoral research, I studied MSc. in Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science with a concentration in Development Economics.

Before joining the Institute of Geography at the University of Bern in Switzerland, I was awarded a Research Fellowship at the Brussels Centre for Urban Studies at the Vrije Universities Brussel (VUB) and held an adjunct professorship at The Ohio State University's City and Regional Planning Section at the Knowlton School of Architecture.
