Sasha brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of research, policy, governance, and systemic change. With advanced graduate degrees from McGill and Oxford, her work has explored how societies navigate collapse, memory, and transformation—particularly in the aftermath of political rupture.
She has coordinated international research networks, advised on elections and European Union accession, and moved between diplomatic and grassroots spaces marked by power disparity. At CAN-Rac, Sasha supports global efforts to advance climate justice for workers and communities through a just transition lens.
Sasha is fluent in English, Albanian, and Italian, and proficient in French comprehension. Poetry is her favority love language. She feels at home in cross-cultural environments and is passionate about land-based knowledge, urban art and architecture, and intergenerational memory. Mushroom foraging around the Mediterranean is her favorite activity—a family tradition that honors her “illiterate” grandparents, who spoke to winds, rivers, animals, and soil through ways of knowing she now mourns, and hopes to recover.
