Yes, I can! A role model for young water professionals

Abstract

Water personalities You have an extensive educational background, please highlight some of your accomplishments. I was very fortunate to have received scholarships to study in different corners of the globe, so I was able to travel and see new places from a very young age. This gave me the opportunity to experience different types of education systems in various countries, whilst meeting people from different backgrounds, and it really expanded my world view in so many ways. Another highlight was my decision to focus on international relations, more specifically political science. With both my Masters and my PhD I specialised in water governance. It was only when I started work, that I realised how useful and applicable a political science degree can be for the water sector. The complexity of water challenges today necessitates a holistic and integrated approach and necessitates inputs from a diverse range of disciplines and expertise. I have found a home as a social scientist in the water sector.
