I have a bachelor's and master's degree in disaster and human security management. I also hold another Master's degree in Social Work with Children and Youth under the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Program, where, my master's thesis was focused on 'Ukrainian refugees' family integration into Slovak society: Socioeconomic and cultural dimension'.

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in International Studies. My proposed PhD thesis is 'Protection 2 Integration (P2I): Portuguese Policy Response for the Integration of Ukrainian Refugees into the Labor Market'. The primary goal of my research is to examine Portugal’s policy response to the integration of Ukrainian refugees into the labor market, within the broader context of the European Union’s Temporary Protection Directive (TPD). By analyzing the interplay between national and EU-level strategies, the study aims to understand how effectively Portugal has coordinated with EU institutions and local actors to transition Ukrainian refugees from protection or/ to sustainable labor market integration

Professionally, I worked as a Research Assistant at BRAC, Bangladesh University of Professionals, and Tiller Bangladesh, contributing to projects on forced migration and refugee integration, higher education and women empowerment, and sustainable environmental development respectively. Internationally, I collaborated with Gateway & Partners, Latvia, and the East European Journal of Social Science and Politics, Hungary, focusing on policy research and market analysis. I have also been actively engaged in humanitarian work, volunteering at the Community Center of the Baptist Church in Slovakia, and supporting Ukrainian refugee children's education and integration.
