OUTSIDE OF ACADEMIA
I have engaged with policymakers and practitioners internationally. In 2014 I joined the Open Society Foundation coordinated, Strategic Advisory Group, tasked with advising the President and Government of Ukraine. In this role I contributed to policy development work related to three policy areas: good governance, anti-corruption and transparency, and social and human development policy. I have also strived to be directly engaged in other policy work relating to greater democratic and electoral development in Ukraine.
