Expertise:
By nature of my two degrees, I am a trained researcher that specialises in the field of international development. My Masters degree at the University of Oxford saw me critically analyse development programmes that target poverty, race and gender inequality, and environmental sustainability. I focussed my thesis on analysing Palestinian refugee remittances through the lens of humanitarian aid. Not only did this project focus on giving agency back to refugees, but it attempted to shift the popular narrative around them being ‘helpless victims’ and receivers of aid towards them being proactive providers of aid themselves.

Person I most admire:
I admire the courage and determination of all displaced peoples. Particularly the strength needed to uproot their lives and start afresh whilst actively engaging in the remembrance of their homelands.

Background:
After spending over six years at university studying a wide variety of subjects and having worked in both the private and non-profit sector, my knowledge spans across different disciplines. With a master’s degree in Sustainability and Management from Royal Holloway, University of London, I have a deep understanding of both environmental and social issues as well as the way these two are interconnected. My master’s studies gave me an opportunity to explore topics such as women’s access to microfinance in the Global South and the continued oppression of the indigenous Sámi people in Northern Sweden, further developing my interest in the social side of things. This passion has also led me to volunteer for causes like Millions Missing, raising awareness for ME, and ESOL Refugee Tutoring, aimed at helping refugees integrate into society.

Client experience:
With experience of working with clients from multiple continents in both the private and public sector, I am used to managing a diverse and international client portfolio which has helped me develop an understanding of cultural differences and the different types of challenges organisations today face.

Person I most admire:
I admire all minorities that show resilience and are committed to preserving their culture despite a history of oppression. On a personal level, I really look up to my dad for reclaiming (what should have been) his native language of Meänkieli, and I am trying to follow his example!
