Biography

I completed my PhD in 2012, which focused on the evolution of Islamist civil society movements in Tunisia and Morocco into pro-democracy political movements (and ended up taking a strong focus on how they responded to the Arab spring given events from 2011 onwards). While in Cambridge, I was highly involved in my college – having served as the Trinity Hall MCR President, rowing in the Women’s First VIII and serving on the committee for Trinity Hall Boat Club. Since completing my studies, I have pursued a career in applied research in international development, most recently joining the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office as a Results & Evidence Adviser focused on Sudan.
