Her work has appeared in a variety of venues, including in the journals International Security, Security Studies, and International Migrations well as in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and in briefs prepared for the US Supreme Court.

Outside of academia, she has served as a consultant to the Ford Foundation and to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as a defense program analyst for the US Department of Defense, and as an economic policy intern for US Senator John F.
