She has been recently selected to take part in the British Government’s International Leaders Programme for 2016 and was previously “Personnalite d’avenir” – selected by the Quai d’Orsay. In 2012, Karma was named one of 2012’s top 99 foreign policy leaders under 33 years of age by the Diplomatic Courier. She earned her Master of public administration from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, where she was a Fulbright Scholar.
