To deepen her expertise, she pursued her Masters degree (LLM) concentrating in international economic law at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Her Masters research paper on the WTO’s EC-Seal Products case inspired her to further research the interaction of trade and other values.
In addition to her education, Phakanadh has work experience with various government agencies.
