She holds a master’s degree in Political Science with a specialization in Development Studies from McGill University and a bachelor’s degree in Global Development Studies from Queen’s University.

She is especially concerned with how these themes are articulated in Europe and through its bordering practices, at various scales. She speaks English, French, and German.
