Hello! I am a multidisciplinary designer and have been with the Laidlaw Foundation for over five years, working to strengthen our global Scholar community and amplify the impact of our programmes.
My work lives somewhere between design, education, and anthropology, usually with sticky notes involved. I studied Human Sciences as an undergrad and recently finished a Master’s in Anthropology, both at UCL.
Born and raised in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Outside of work? Probably in the ceramics studio or a yoga class. Big fan of nature and very small bugs.
Graduate in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) from Durham University. Have conducted research on climate security in the Israeli-Palestinian context. Experience in public speaking in an academic context, journalism, and journalistic editing.
Economics scholar researching my own alternative to GDP!
Recently graduated with a Master's in Physics from Oxford University.
This summer I'm at MIT researching anthropogenic effects on the spatial pattern and intensity of extreme precipitation events. In October I'll be returning to Oxford to begin my DPhil (PhD) in Atmospheric Physics as part of the NERC DTP in Environmental Science.
