Before joining the Hugo Observatory, Tatiana worked at the UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where she supported the implementation of a quantitative study
on the root causes of African migration to Europe. At the Hugo Observatory, Tatiana previously worked as the Project Manager for the MAGYC project and as Project Manager for HABITABLE.
