After graduating from Princeton with a degree in Economics and certificates from Teacher Preparation and Environmental Studies, Réka taught Math, English, Literature, Science and Arts for 3-11th graders in Sri Lanka for a summer.

She is currently pursuing the Economics PhD program at Stanford University with the goal to learn more and do research about the role education systems and other factors play in reducing inequality within and across countries.  Her interest areas include development economics, behavioral economics and political economy.  Her research is concerned with understanding the role high growth potential entrepreneurship plays in contributing to growth and positive social outcomes as well as understanding the various factors that influence the potential of entrepreneurship such as philanthropic and investing activities, education and institutions.  Her previous work looked at the role of media bias on political outcomes and on civic engagement. 

Together with another Hungarian Princeton student, Réka started Knapsack Camps as part of the Davis Peace project fellowship. Their mission is to empower underprivileged children in Hungary through education. In fall 2016, they officially became an NGO and grew by 25 new volunteers.
