A Masters graduate in International Development Studies, I now work as a Junior Researcher at the Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research, University of Amsterdam. I work on two projects; Her Choice, an alliance of four Dutch-based organisations working to create child marriage free communities in 11 Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries, and a research project commissioned by SOS Children's Villages Netherlands into the social exclusion of vulnerable youth (youth in and from care, and youth at risk of losing parental care) in six countries across the globe. I am working to build upon the latter of these two projects through a PhD position, where I will take an inter-disciplinary and multi-level approach to exploring the effects of political environments on care leavers realities.
