Senior mission manager, healthy life mission
As part of the healthy life mission, Nika works with the team and partners on influencing government public health policy.
Nika joins Nesta from Bite Back, a youth activist organisation campaigning for a healthier, fairer food system. In her role as head of policy and research, she was responsible for the organisation’s policy positions and research portfolio, which backed the lived experience of young people living in the UK. She collaborated with brilliant academics to deliver research, including with the University of Liverpool on food advertising, and was invited to give evidence to the Health and Social Care Committee.
Prior to this, she worked on policy and campaigns at the Jamie Oliver Group and Future Advocacy.
Outside of work, Nika loves spending her time outdoors and being active, and is trying to learn Polish.
