Bio and CV

Biography I was born and raised in the Soviet Union, in a low-income area of a large urban centre prone to recurring floods. It was witnessing these regular ‘disasters’ affect my community year after year that influenced my choice of profession. After finishing my Masters (Engineering/Emergency Management) in Russia, I realized that in order to address vulnerability reduction effectively, the level of understanding and implementation must extend beyond the borders of the nation state – just as many disasters transcend international boundaries. Since then I have studied in several academic institutions: London, UK (University College London; King’s College London), Canada (MUNK Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto; York University) and Sweden (Department of Architecture and Build Environment, Lund University). I have worked in the media, government agencies and non-government organizations. Currently, I enjoy being a Mom and living in Vancouver while being a PhD student and a Trudeau scholar.
