⦿ Berlin
My background includes experience in international research projects as well as stakeholder management roles at the Technical University of Dresden and the Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development. I have contributed to policy advisory projects funded by German government ministries such as the German Environment Agency (UBA) and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), collaborating with government agencies, civil society organizations, and academic institutions through research associate roles.
Previously, I worked at the UN Information Service in Moscow, gaining extensive experience in media production, press relations, events, and strategic campaigns.
I hold a Master's degree in Business Ethics from TU Dresden, a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Policy from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, and a degree in Public Relations from the German Academy of Journalism.
With expertise in AI systems and emerging tech, I provide critical analysis and support for initiatives in these areas for academia, cultural institutions, public sector and non-profits. The core areas I work on are digital well-being, AI ethics, and critical digital literacy.
In my work I combine traditional methods with multi-sensory media - using scents, sounds, embodied practices, and analog photo and video. Working mostly with digital topics, I remain committed to nurturing offline spaces for in-person dialogue.
