While completing her Masters in International Conflict Studies at King’s College London, Maura worked for a public affairs firm where she managed a trans-Atlantic think tank.

Returning to the United States in 2015, Maura worked with social movement leaders across the United States to build capacity and support their leadership development before joining Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
