As Deputy Director of Content and Global Programs for WISE (the World Innovation Summit for Education, an Initiative of Qatar Foundation), she leads an international team who identifies, connects and celebrates creative thinkers and doers in education.

It has also led her to gain a deep understanding of the impact of learning and education on social innovation, sustainability, collective development and individual empowerment.
