Azania Thomas has had an interesting journey in international development. In 2005, she completed an MA in Economics, completed a teaching certification (CELTA) and worked as a PR and Capacity Development executive for an NGO in Mumbai . In 2007, she moved to Mexico City, where she worked as an English language teacher and Economics Lecturer for 5 years. She felt her work would have more meaning for marginalised populations in developing countries. She returned to India and began work as a training consultant for the British Council’s education programmes in 2012. In 2013-2014, she studied at the University of Edinburgh, where she completed an Msc in South Asia and International Development. Since 2016, she have been working as an education consultant for a number of British Council projects. Lately, she has had a growing interest in issues affecting health care in India and is exploring connections between skill development and healthcare. When she is not spending her time engaged with issues in the international development world, Azania spends her time painting and developing her fine artcollection. Enclosed is her picture.
