She initially developed her background in international environmental policy from her prior role at the Armenian office of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Most recently, she also worked on developing projects aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals with Women Engage for a Common Future, based in Munich, Germany. She is excited by the potential for innovation and diplomacy in the Arctic and by its -20°C temperatures.
