Service with publicly scalable impact has been my passion since my first job. 

I am a pro bono Member of the Public Advisory Council at the Ministry of Labor and Poverty Reduction's Agency for Mahallabay [Micro-District Level] Working and Entrepreneurship Development, Uzbekistan's governmental agency established to reduce poverty and improve local economic outcomes. 

Before that, I was a non-resident Research Associate (pro-bono, independent) at the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan (2021-2023, mostly on international ratings and evidence-based policymaking). 

Since 2024, I am Board of Directors member of the Governance at the Central Eurasian Studies Society, a leading scholarly community for interdisciplinary social scientists and humanities' scholars studying the region, contributing to two committees. I designed and led the Society's first ever fundraising campaign, raising over $12,000 (20% more than the goal).

Finally, I am a member of the Harvard Central Asian Archives Task Force since 2023, working to make unique, under-used, and barrier-ridden archives across Central Asia more accessible to interdisciplinary scholarly communities.

I am passionate about education and extending its benefits to the communities I serve and the vulnerable communities from where I come. In 2023-2024, I helped the New Uzbekistan University's Academic Board in building the country’s first Western-style, research intensive (R1) university. I took active part in establishing the School of Humanities, Natural, and Social Sciences, hiring a top scholar to lead it as the Founding Dean, founding the country's first Summer School in Economics and Mathematics that brought top scholars to facilitate graduate program access, and starting Uzbekistan's first ever post-doctoral fellowship. Finally, I helped design and successfully complete Uzbekistan's first independent research fundraising campaign, hopefully laying the foundation for the university's aspirations towards more autonomy through its own endowment and tenure systems.
