She was selected
in 2015 out of a pool of more than 500 applicants to support Her

her post at the UN, she worked for three years in the Finance and Markets
Global Practice of the World Bank responsible for providing technical,
strategic and operational support/services in financial inclusion and

of financial sector development projects, assisted client countries
in preparing prioritized action plans addressing financial sector development
and the sequencing of reforms, and advise clients, especially in low

programs. One of these project was an access-to-finance project in Turkey
that aimed to empower women in the Eastern part of Turkey to access
