Dara holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from the University of Geneva, specialising in International Politics. Her academic interests focus on European affairs, particularly Switzerland-EU and UK-EU relations, which she explored in her bachelor’s thesis.

Building on these interests, she completed an internship at the UK Mission to the European Union in Brussels, where she worked on trade and economic policy issues and gained firsthand experience of EU policymaking.

In September, she will begin a Master’s degree in Public Policy and Management at the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration, part of the University of Lausanne.
