Researcher on global development and progress

I am interested in a progress studies for the developing world. Policy for a better world should not be limited to the US and Europe; I aim to write about innovation and policy in the rest of the world as well.

I am currently a research fellow at Open Philanthropy on the global health & well-being cause prioritization team. My work generally involves investigating possible new cause areas where Open Philanthropy may make grants in the future.

My work has been published in Works in Progress, Asterisk Magazine, and The Washington Post.

Extremely crazy cat lady

I love to learn things – so I am always reading things and sometimes writing about them. I used to be a researcher for the British TV show, QI, and I largely agree with the show’s tagline – everything is “quite interesting” if you look.

Otherwise, I am a crazy cat lady essentially constantly being bullied by my cat, Lyra.

Also, this isn’t my first rodeo – in that I have been in more than one rodeo. (My grandfather raised horses in Kansas, so I was riding before I could walk.)
