She told Today: 'For me, the biggest challenge I have had in my work is trying to understand how all the pieces come together.  

'And with the state of the world we are all living in, with so much instability and the numbers rising on refugees, we're at 68million people displaced, and with all the many, many things your audience is aware of, how do we get to the core of what is happening and who are the different people that are offering solutions.'
