Other interests include policy coherence, the translation of norms across different governance levels (such as in the implementation of commitments made by States in the SDGs or the Global Compact for Migration), and the role of funding in these processes. She has fieldwork experience in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Pakistan and Nepal, and has worked with a range of different stakeholders including FAO, GIZ, ICMPD, ICMC, IDB, ILO, ITUC, IOM, UNDP, UNIDO, OECD, SDC, and the World Bank.
