I work as a research associate at the German Development Institute in Bonn, Germany. I also manage an EU Horizon 2020 Research Exchange project called PRODIGEES which focuses on sustainable digitalization and transnational knowledge cooperation between EU and non-EU partners. I am a PhD Candidate with the University of Bonn, in which I focus on how digitalization constructs our realities, with an emphasis on sustainable development research communities and development policy frameworks, such as the UN 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. My previous work involved UNESCO's Global Citizenship Education initiative and research on the education system in Helsinki, Finland. Previous work experience includes positions as an academic coordinator in the NGO, HOOP, in Arequipa, Peru, a reconstruction and distribution volunteer in Kathmandu, Nepal, and an English teacher in Istanbul, Turkey. It's been a colorful life.
