- Profile
-
I am a doctoral researcher at ºù«Ӱҵ University Management School within the Entrepreneurship, Strategy & International Business subject group. My research focuses on exploring the dynamics of trust in cross-sector partnerships for sustainable development that involve two or more societal sectors (including businesses, governments, non-profits, civil societies, foundations, and academia). I am interested in understanding the underlying factors, challenges, and strategies that influence trust development in these partnerships.
Prior to my PhD, I worked as an international development practitioner in corporate partnerships at UNICEF UK, and on a national COVID-19 health emergency response project at the WHO country office in Tehran. I am passionate about humanitarian projects.
