About

I am a writer and researcher based in Brussels, working at the intersections of fiction, political philosophy, and migration studies. My creative work explores themes of displacement, identity, and the spaces between cultures.

My academic research focuses on refugee studies, immigration policy, and the intellectual history of political thought. I hold a PhD from the European University Institute and have published widely on migration, sovereignty, and the politics of belonging.

Through both fiction and essays, I investigate what it means to exist in states of transition — the experiences, memories, and meanings that emerge from movement across borders and boundaries.
