She is currently working as a Senior Advisor at the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development and since 2008 has worked with other ministries for both the provincial and federal government.

In 2012, Huria travelled to Kabul, Afghanistan to support the master’s degree program in Public Policy & Administration implemented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the University of Massachusetts through the Afghanistan Higher Education Project.
