About me
I’m Ivana, and I’ve lived in 5 countries across 4 continents - which means my answer to “where are you from?” is never simple. I’m passionate about access: how people get (or don’t get) the information they need. Outside Borderless, I write and work on misinformation detection and the systems that connect truth to the people who need it most.
