Bushra is a Research Analyst, who actively participates in various aspects of the business, from bids and research analysis to coordination efforts across the UK office.

Bushra is a Research Analyst currently working under the Evaluation, Policy Analysis, and Learning (EPAL) team. She previously was an active member of the Corporate Business Service (CBS) team within Triple Line where she was a Project Coordinator and the UK Administrator for the London office. The Project Coordination side of her role consisted of drafting and modification of subcontracts, amendment and retainer contracts, alongside ensuring travel and insurance policy management. Through her role, she has collaborated with clients such as The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, World Bank, Mastercard Foundation and more. The Administrative side of her role consisted of day-to-day operational tasks such as recruitment, human resources, IT, office and event management.

Bushra graduated in International Relations from the University of Edinburgh in 2021. Her dissertation examined health provisions, specifically exploring challenges posed by geographical, socio-cultural, and religious barriers in mental health policies for Rohingya refugees and the broader Bangladeshi community. Her dissertation addressed the prevailing discourse on mental health in developing countries, emphasising the issue of stigmatisation, which often results in the neglect of this crucial subject. Bushra's commitment to addressing systemic inequalities in healthcare accessibility, migration, and climate-induced displacement reflects her dedication to understanding and confronting pressing global issues.

Bushra's academic foundation and leadership experiences from past roles align seamlessly with the collaborative and dynamic nature of the Triple Line team. In the International Development sector, Bushra’s previous role as the Project and Commercial Administrator at Itad oversaw the commercial processes of the company's portfolio. Additionally, she interned at the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for the Government of Bangladesh, which played a significant role in shaping her dissertation topic following her visit to Cox’s Bazaar in 2019. Bushra has also worked at Bright Network, where she advised students on navigating career prospects, expanding outreach to a diverse array of students from minority backgrounds, promoting inclusivity across work settings.
