LiA Week 5 - Unexpected Directions
This week took a turn I did not plan for. The school administration asked me to organise an extra session about studying abroad, because students kept asking about it on top of the Baltic content during my lessons. It felt like a natural extension of the project, so I put something together. On the Baltic side, I had a meeting with the Race for the Baltic foundation to discuss my lessons and materials. They pointed me towards a Swedish organisation called VOTO, which runs an ocean literacy programme for schools called HIS Play. It turns out they have been doing something very similar to what I built here, but in Sweden, and they are looking for a partner in Poland to help bring it into Polish schools. I'm preparing to reach out to them. It is strange and exciting to realise that a project I started as a six-week placement might connect to something bigger than I expected.
I’m a Laidlaw Scholar at Imperial College London, studying Economics, Finance and Data Science, with a focus on applying data and economic tools to solve global environmental challenges.
As Founder of See the Sea, I lead a youth-driven initiative protecting the Baltic Sea through scientific education, community engagement, and policy advocacy: recognized with national awards and backed by successful fundraising campaigns.
I’m currently creating a short film about the Baltic, exploring fifty years of environmental and social change through a blend of storytelling and visual art. The production is planned for Summer 2025.
I’m passionate about sustainable finance, climate data, and storytelling that drives impact. Through the Laidlaw network, I hope to connect with fellow scholars working at the intersection of leadership, science, and global change.
