I started this blog to keep a running tab of my own thoughts and reflections on issues popping up on the international aid front; I kept a blog during my summer practicum in Kenya during grad school, got some really positive feedback, and decided to start penning my thoughts on current development issues. Expect updates on new aid data, advocacy & nonprofit ideas, data visualizations, interesting new research findings, ideas/innovations/criticisms of how aid is done today, and other interesting (and likely sometimes unrelated) topics..

I will put a disclaimer out there that I’m a young voice in this conversation, and will probably consistently link back to some of the more seasoned professionals in this field. I always appreciate feedback, constructive criticism, and suggestions – feel free to contact me any time.
