Bio
Lisa Pfaff
I initially met Zeenath when we were studying together at the University of Melbourne, completing our Master's Degree coursework in Development Studies. Zeenath was an exceptional student to learn with, and she helped me to digest new topics and information during our classes together. Zeenath was always a proactive learner in the classroom and consistently brought up thoughtful and unique observations. She also had a keen awareness of key issues related to development and gender from her experiences prior to her studies. I am grateful for my time studying and learning with Zeenath, and I know she will be an asset to any professional endeavors she peruses.
