At PwC’s Education Practice, I led strategy, operating-model, and monitoring and evaluation work for a major GCC public STEM university serving 60,000+ students. I also designed the operating model and data system for a GCC ministry’s first national system to record, verify, and use individual skills and certifications.

At PwC, I built a traineeship pipeline spanning 50+ employers globally that has placed 150+ trainees, with 80%+ of employers taking trainees. I also lead delivery of the program and own its PMO and placement process.

My work has included advising ministries in Zambia and México, and I previously taught English and communication skills at Shiv Nadar School and served with Teach for India. I hold an Ed. M. in International Education Policy from Harvard University and have published on education policy.
