She is currently serving as a Professor of Education and Regional Vice Provost at Aga Khan University (AKU) in Pakistan. Her extensive academic and research profile highlights her deep interest in education in low-income and lower-middle-income countries, including Pakistan and East African nations. Specialising in language and gender issues in education, she is also involved with international forums focused on equitable participation in education, particularly for young women from disadvantaged contexts.
