Hagia Sofia
Pauline in front of Hagia Sofia in Istanbul. Greek for "Holy Wisdom" this magnificent Byzantine church was later converted into an equally magnificent mosque. Her green backpack is also magnificent.
As a former Fulbright Fellow and graduate of the University of Michigan, I take my research seriously. I don't like unturned rocks, especially when it comes to my favorite field of study: Arab and Islamic Studies. My studies have sent me all over the Middle East--spending extensive time in the West Bank and Egypt--and my work with the National Democratic Institute has given me the opportunity to return on numerous occasions.
