There she managed various research and capacity development initiatives related to migration and development, and delivered trainings on migration data to governments around the world. Elisa has worked and/or consulted for the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), the World Bank, the Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM), an NGO in the Philippines, and other places. Elisa holds a Master of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) from Georgetown University and a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy & Politics from the University of Edinburgh.
