I am Patricija, originally from Lithuania, the land of magical forests, and enchanting rivers and lakes. Growing up, I have spent lots of time exploring the nature. That is when I started building my admiration and connection to it. For the past 5 years I have been living, studying, volunteering, and working in Copenhagen, Denmark. That is also where I learnt about sustainability, and then everything simply made sense. I knew that whatever I do in life, I want sustainability to be at the core of it. So, I started exploring, engaging, and seeking experiences.

Hi, I’m Iqra, an Economics student working in RWE, a sustainability leading energy company. I was the former president for oikos Nottingham chapter, which I revived after 2 years of inactivity. I have multiple experiences in the sustainability industry, from speeches in conferences to hands-on charity work. With 5 years experience in social media freelancing I would love to bring creativity into the team.
When not busy, you will find me travelling, exploring different cultures, taking pictures or crafting.
I am very excited to continue my journey with oikos International.
