I am an energetic, detail-oriented professional with a passion for words - in English and Spanish. While my experience lies in proposal writing, grant applications, and policy research, I am up to any task involved with drafting, copy editing, or research. Combined with my professional experience in project management and community coordination, I am ready to tackle any project you might have for me! My work creed: • I will fully manage the project from start to completion . • Communication is key – strong communication is essential to the success of any project. I will send regular emails and conduct regular calls to keep you updated on progress and direction. • Clarity, clarity, clarity – I’m an inquisitive learner, and I want to know all about your goals for the project to be able to deliver the best possible product or service. From the beginning, I make sure to ask a lot of questions to fully understand your vision and successfully make it a reality. A little bit about me: My love for words began as a child, when I would spend hours on the couch reading novels. My love for novels not only honed my reading and writing skills, but transported me to other worlds, allowing me to travel from the comfort of my couch. As a teen and young adult, I set the books aside and began to travel for myself (in-person!), visiting over 25 countries to date, many solo. My personal interests lie in travel, and I would eventually love to combine my professional skills to pursue a career in this space. If you are a fellow traveler, I am always happy to exchange stories!International Development

I am dedicated to the protection, resilience, learning and development of children facing significant adversities and fragile contexts. In my 20-year career, I have collaborated with Ministries of Education and international and local organizations to strengthen education systems from early childhood through secondary education, including technical and vocational education. Having extensive experience in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Middle East, Europe and Caucasus has provided me with a deeper understanding of contextual issues across countries and cultures and a global perspective about how to contribute to children's positive life outcomes through education. I have established and engaged with global learning communities and networks to create space for learning, sharing, and collaboration among organizations in different contexts. Engaging with these global networks and in-country initiatives creates opportunities to seek and share innovations with promising results. I'm originally from Colombia and the United States. I am a Peace Scholar with the US Institute of Peace and have a doctorate in International Educational Development from Teachers College at Columbia University.International Development

Dr. Elsa Talat Khwaja is an independent research scholar, international development consultant, and writer. She received her PhD in Public Policy from George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government in August 2021. There she studied international development policy in Pakistan and Afghanistan, specializing in qualitative research methods, fragile states, and social capital. She has previously worked with the American Councils for International Education, Chemonics International, the Aspen Institute, the Embassy of Pakistan, and the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training in Washington D.C. Dr. Khwaja was a Brent Scowcroft Award Fellow at the Aspen Strategy Group. She has also worked with the All Pakistan Women’s Association and the Human Rights Commission in Karachi, Pakistan. She received her Masters in Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh and Bachelor in Political Science and Global Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Dr. Khwaja has published in the SAGE Handbook of Research Methods in Political Science and International Relations, Policy Futures in Education, and the Journal of Asian Public Policy. She is a member of the American Political Science Association, Society for International Development - USA, Women in International Security, American Pakistan Foundation, Comparative International Education Society (CIES), International Public Policy Association, International Studies Association, and the United Nations Association, National Capital Area (UNA-NCA). Dr. Khwaja has over 15 years of professional and academic experience in public and international affairs, foreign policy, and international development. Her research involves international development policy and foreign aid effectiveness in fragile and conflict-affected areas (FCAS). Her doctoral dissertation examined foreign aid program efficacy in vulnerable, rural, fragile, and conflict-affected areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, from the lens of social capital and network theory. Exploring the cases of Afghanistan and Pakistan through an enhanced understanding of the social capital-aid effectiveness-fragility nexus, her main concern is how material and/or non-material exchanges among social networks of international donor agencies and recipient organizations potentially help or hinder aid-delivery processes in fragile and conflict-afflicted spaces. Dr. Khwaja was awarded the Smith Foundation’s World Politics and Statecraft Fellowship for her doctoral fieldwork in Pakistan, as well as the Daniel Druckman Fellowship for Peace and Conflict Resolution.International Development
