She was awarded a PhD in International Studies from the University of Cambridge, held visiting positions at Harvard Law, Princeton, Sciences-Po and the Institute for Advanced Studies and tenure as assistant professor at the University of Kent.

Throughout her career spanning over twenty-five years, she established global partnerships across geographies in an effort to bring about opportunities for those at the margins – of society, economy and geography.
