We The Free

Born in Kazakhstan and later relocating to the UK after a period of international travel while working for a prestigious 5-star hotel chain, I bring a unique blend of experiences to the vegan movement. With a degree in Psychology, Arts, and Politics, I’ve cultivated a skill set that includes diplomacy, creativity, and a deep understanding of human psychodynamics and interaction. In my roles as an Advocacy Ambassador and Director at We The Fee and as the UK Liaison for Our Planet Theirs Too, I’m passionate about fostering growth and professionalism within the movement, emphasizing unity and alliances through partnerships and collaborations. I also take great pride in our work with the National Animal Rights Day (NARD), where we’re gearing up for the 14th memorial event scheduled for the first Sunday of June 2024 in nearly 200 cities across over 60 countries.
