Between 2007-2008 she lived in Manchester, UK and in 2008, moved to Edinburgh for a new PhD in Sociology. Her first academic interview in the UK was before her PhD viva, in 2013 June and had many interviews for academic jobs after, most of them in the UK and three Western European countries (13 academic interviews in one year and a half). After PhD, lacking academic connections and funding for UK universities (questions they ask during interviews for senior lectureship and lectureship in the UK), she offered consultancy to a local charity organisation in Glasgow and reviewed her Phd thesis which has been published with Routledge (Oct 2016). She has also worked more than 6 years as a face to face translator with Sheriff courts, HMP prisons, police stations, hospitals, schools, council and tax offices all over Scotland and also a phone translator more than 5 years with NHS, HMRC, DWP, detention centres, English police and UK border force. In March 2022 she founded her first company and together with young prospective researchers/experts, holding prestigious PhDs in finance economics, she is looking forward to a long and fruitful business career in the field of capital investments, in Western Europe (Frankfurt-Nice axis).
