MSC SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON

Volunteering to advocate for girls’ rights to education with Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) in Nepal has driven me to shift my career purpose to focus on tackling pressing challenges of social inequality. My experience working in the third sector since has made me question how solutions to these challenges can be better informed by the often diverse and marginalised communities they are designed to support. My masters will further develop my expertise as a practitioner to create innovative social development and policy solutions that put people at the centre of social change. I am excited to be able to collaborate with other Aziz Foundation Scholars who are also committed to making a positive impact on people’s lives.
