I also work at Boston Children's Hospital as a child patient advocate. I am really interested in politics so I am involved with the Harvard undergrad Political consulting group! **Favorite place in Harvard Square?** As basic as it sounds Hefe's and Sweetgreen are my second homes... depending on the time of the day. Oh and Otto Pizzeria hands down! **What can FIPers talk to you about?** FIPpers can chat to me about anything from how to navigate courses to dealing with all the admin of being an international student at Harvard. I love exploring so ask me for some cool hot spots in Boston! **Why should a first-year choose FIP?** FIP was where I made some of my closest friends! You will always have your FIP family and the international community! **Leader Bio** Nikita was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. Before she came to Harvard she took a gap year to further her university debating career, sail in South Africa and just explore her home country. Nikita is a rising senior living in Winthrop House - objectively the best house that has truly become a home-away-from-home. She is currently doing a joint concentration between Anthropology and Government with a secondary in Chemistry. She has invested her time into building the international community at Harvard and also works as a patient advocate at Boston's Children's Hospital. This semester she was a course assistant for PS11 and also works at the Harvard Institutional Research Office. If you ever need to find her, check out Winthrop DHall or the river on a sunning winter's day. She loves learning about the world, binge watching series as deadlines approach and scuba diving! This summer, Nikita will be working in Seattle, west coast best coast! **Contact** As a Co-DIFA, Nikita is one of the people directing this year's FIP. If you have any questions or concerns regarding FIP 2021, feel free to reach out to Nikita at or at .
