I'm Eric, a proud policy wonk and global affairs nerd.

By day, I'm a Program and Grants Management Assistant at the Russell Sage Foundation. By night I'm an M.A. candidate at The New School's Julien J. Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs, with a concentration in conflict, security, and development.

In both academic and professional environments, I have eight years of experience in foreign policy analysis and commentary, nonprofit program operations and grants management, event coordination, and customer service.

My current interests are US/Asia foreign policy, conflict resolution/peacebuilding, global human rights, nonproliferation, and technology. Overall, my passion is ironing out the maddening complexities of global affairs, and distilling that knowledge for audiences to engage with. I love to learn, but to inspire that same spark in someone else is ultimately what I aspire to do.
