During my studies, I have specialized in gender, globalisation, social inequality and social change in the global south and in the Swiss Alps. I've been working at the Swiss Academy for Development (SAD) since April 2005, first as an intern, then as a project collaborator in the field of Sport & Development. In April 2008, I became a project manager of the new educational and sports project "Move 4 New Horizons" in Nepal.

I began my career as a journalist, working as a football reporter and media trainer for the BBC. After helping to create a UK-based project that used football and music to engage and inspire underserved youth, I moved to Germany and then South Africa to work on the social legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, working in two of South Africa's most disadvantaged communities, Alexandra in Johannesburg and Khayelitsha in Cape Town. In 2012 I moved to New York in the USA to work in strategic partnership development.
