Miss Mary Boulos Ayad is a Phd Candidate at Macquarie University, completing a
dissertation on the highly complex, technical and specialised areas of International

Miss Ayad has lived and researched extensively in Europe and the Middle East and North
Africa, working for the United Nations UNHCR Field Office in Cairo whilst undertaking
research for her first Masters Degree through the School for International Training in

at Georgetown University’s Library in the Doha, Qatar Campus before coming to Australia.
Miss Ayad also holds a second Masters degree in International Human Rights Law and
Democratisation in the Mediterranean from the University of Malta and a Bachelors degree
of Political Science from the University of Colorado.

of the recent events therein. She has also recently been an expert member of a
three-member expert panel which discussed the implications of the recent political events
in the Middle East live on the Macquarie University Radio Station. 

Miss Ayad has recently won the highly distinguished II International Commercial
