Keo Priyanith completed her undergraduate studies in 2019 where she graduated with High Honors and
as valedictorian at Paragon International University and the Royal University of Phnom Penh respectively. Prior to joining Future Forum as a Young Research Fellow, Priyanith worked in the private sector as a communications specialist where she collaborated closely with representatives from government institutions and non-governmental organizations. Priyanith also has research experience from her time as a Junior Fellow at the Center for Khmer Studies and from her work on her undergraduate senior thesis titled: “A Critical Discursive Study of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements”. Priyanith is currently taking a break from full-time employment to deepen her interests in inequality and its complex impacts on human development and the environment. In addition, she is keen to tap into her experience and explore how technology and communications can be utilized to broaden the dissemination and comprehension of research findings in mainstream culture.
