Alina works with Open Source Pharma Foundation (OSPF) supporting multiple projects concentrating on communications, events, and operations. Specialized in cultivating innovative community structures, Alina dedicates herself to initiatives of collaborative creation. A graduate of McGill University in Economic International Development and Management, she realized the importance of novel solutions that incorporate all stakeholders in motivating collective agency and resilience. Appreciating the power of social entrepreneurship, Alina has implicated herself in various start ups and continued to her MSc in Entrepreneurship and Collaborative Innovation at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije University. Since publishing her research of “Makers and Breakers: The Double Edged Sword of Shared Fabrication Spaces and Entrepreneurship” demonstrating how normative and cognitive functions affect maker communities, Alina utilizes the knowledge that collaborative communities are capable of overcoming all kinds of financial, institutional, and economic challenges through an open transparent culture encouraging active participation and meaningful communication. Indeed, she believes that when the space opens for individuals to connect through conversation, anything is possible. Alina is the Co-Founder of Rapids Inc. and co-creator of Alegoria, the board game that sparks conversation through open-ended, surprising, and fun questions. As a firecracker sparking social engagement, Alina is happiest when bringing people together in community to overcome shared obstacles.
