About Me

I am a junior at Northwestern University majoring in Slavic Studies and International Relations, and minoring in Economics. Much of my academic work is focused on understanding why Western sanctions consistently fail to produce their desired effect on the Russian economy.

I believe that the answer comes from combining macroeconomic date with on-the-ground cultural understanding. As a fluent Russian language speaker who lived in Russia for many years, I have a unique perspective that can help organizations bridge the gap between Western corporate strategy and the realities of the Russian market.

I want to use my cultural knowledge and academic skills to assist companies, while gaining practical work experience for a future career in consulting.
