I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge. My research uses critical realism and postcolonial theories to compare the transition of international students to global north and global south labor markets. Currently, I am the President of the Faculty of Education Research Student Association (FERSA).
My qualitative dissertation examines the concepts of hybridity, identity, nationalism, and reflexivity among international students and how these become deliberations that influence student actions and decisions in a transnational transition. My project intersects sociology with higher education to explore the changing narratives of a university graduate’s transition to employment.
I am a Cambridge Trust and Jardine Scholar and previously studied at Teachers College, Columbia University, where I received my Master’s in International Educational Development.
