New Staff Member Yana Feldman

Assistant to the Director Yana Feldman

Yana is coming back to Cal after three years of wandering around in other countries and continents. She graduated from Cal in 2000 with a degree in chemistry, then decided to convert to the more qualitative disciplines and spent a year at the London School of Economics studying for her Master's in International Relations. She had a blast in London, living there as well as studying, and liked it so much that she might go back to school and study international politics some more. Her academic interests include international institutions, Soviet/Russian-U.S. foreign policy, security studies, arms control and nonproliferation. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and loves to read Russian classics.

Here at IES Yana is working with Beverly Crawford on the Title VI Grant and assisting her with her other Associate Director duties. This position is an excellent opportunity for her to be around the campus she loves, work with European-related programs and learn more about grant writing.
