Samantha Power was the USA's youngest ever ambassador to the UN, during President Barack Obama’s second term, and is a writer and academic. She has just been invited to join president-elect Joe Biden's administration.

Samantha was born in London but grew up in Ireland. At the age of nine, she moved to the US with her mother and younger brother following the breakdown of her parents’ marriage.

Her first ambition was to be a sports broadcaster, but watching live footage of events in Tiananmen Square in 1989 led her to change course and she became a war correspondent instead, reporting on the conflict in Bosnia in the early 1990s. After returning to the US, she wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning book in which she examined what she saw as America’s repeated reluctance to confront genocide in the 20th century.

In 2013 she was appointed ambassador to the UN. She stepped down in 2017 and became professor of global leadership, public policy and human rights at Harvard. Shortly after this edition of Desert Island Discs was recorded, she accepted the role of Administrator of the US Agency for International Development.

萨曼莎-鲍尔是美国有史以来最年轻的驻联合国大使，在巴拉克-奥巴马总统的第二任期内，她是一名作家和学者。她刚刚被邀请加入候任总统乔-拜登的政府。

萨曼莎出生在伦敦，但在爱尔兰长大。9岁时，在父母婚姻破裂后，她与母亲和弟弟搬到了美国。

她的第一个理想是成为一名体育广播员，但在1989年观看了天安门广场事件的现场录像后，她改变了方向，成为一名战地记者，报道90年代初的波斯尼亚冲突。回到美国后，她写了一本获得普利策奖的书，在书中她审视了她所看到的美国在20世纪一再不愿意面对种族灭绝的情况。

2013年，她被任命为驻联合国大使。她于2017年卸任，成为哈佛大学全球领导力、公共政策和人权教授。在本期《荒岛飞碟》录制后不久，她接受了美国国际发展署署长的职务。
