I grew up in the US but decided to study both my master’s and PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the UK because I wanted to work with my advisor, Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington.
I spent almost a decade working abroad before I decided to do my PhD. That time helped me decide if the PhD made sense for me. It also helped strengthen the clarity and depth of my research questions through the advice and mentorship I received along the way.
