Oleksandra Kvochka is a journalist and philologist from Ukraine. After several years working primarily in news media, she is now focusing on environmental reporting. For her, journalism is a form of written activism — a way to give voice to what might otherwise go unheard. She raises Trinity, a dog rescued from Kherson after the Kakhovka Dam flooding, and believes that by saving others, we save ourselves.
