Biography Daria studied Philosophy at Kings College London, and supported a number of organisations in the charity sector after graduating. Daria has worked at Wikimedia UK since 2012, initially focusing on events, outreach, partnerships, and community development, and now serving as the Director of Programmes and Evaluation.

Since then she has developed programs to Increase Knowledge Equity via bringing diverse people and content onto Wikimedia projects.
