How do you use what you learned at LSE Gender in your current role?

My MSc programme really is the analytical backbone of all my research, projects and activities. I learned so much at LSE. Since then I took that knowledge and experience all the way from London to Lisbon, where the WPS agenda is still overlooked. This has allowed me to reach out to and now work with major political players (ministers, diplomats, ambassadors, politicians...) on advancing equality, peace and international security debates in Portugal.

What advice do you have for current and/or prospective LSE Gender students?

Use your LSE times as the foundation for what's to come. Grow your roots, be present, reach out to organisations and stakeholders, get to know yourself. Taking it easy allows you to stay grounded.
