Natasha Lipman

Natasha grew up in London, England. After graduating high school, and being too unwell to pursue her dreams of drama school, she decided to move to Paris to learn French and "find herself". Miraculously, she discovered a love of politics, and this led her to pursue her BA (Hons) in International Relations from Regent's American College in London. Natasha is now a postgraduate student of International Relations at Webster Graduate School, an alumni of the British Council's Global Changemaker's Program (where she represented the UK at the 2009 Africa Youth Summit in Cape Town), and an international youth advocate. In April 2012, Natasha created the International Political Forum, as a place for politically engaged young people around the world to come together and talk about the issues that are important to them. In October 2012, Natasha will be travelling to India as a Virgin Media Pioneer to meet Sir Richard Branson, for her work on the IPF. Natasha's main areas of interest are the Arab-Israeli conflict and US domestic and foreign policy. Natasha is happiest when she's travelling, and when she's not you will often find her with her nose stuffed in a good book!
