My name, as the website suggests, is Sean Brooks.  I live and work in Washington, D.C. and graduated in May 2009 from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) with a master’s degree in international relations and international economics and a concentration in Middle East studies.  Before moving to Washington, I worked in the President’s Office of The American University in Cairo and volunteered at a refugee center teaching English courses for refugees primarily from Sudan and Somalia.  Originally from Ocala, Florida, I graduated magna cum laude from Davidson College in 2004.
