After my scholarship in International Political Economy at King's College London, I worked on research and storytelling with an international organisation (United Nations Office at Geneva), think tank (Development Alternatives and la Caixa Foundation), and design researcher (Quicksand Design Studio). The scope of my work ranged from internal policy analysis, social innovation for entrepreneurship to mapping narratives about financial inclusion. I have also worked on designing programs for social development, including their monitoring, evaluation, fundraising, and relationship building functions.
