About Annika

Annika Freudenberger is currently based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where she is a consultant working with multistakeholder initiatives and non-profit organizations specializing in strategic communications. During her Luce year, she was based in Siem Reap, Cambodia, at the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) where she supported the CKS’ urban research and innovation program. Before moving to Cambodia, Annika was at Meridian Institute in Washington, D.C., where she worked with governments, foundations, the private sector, and civil society on climate, environment, and food systems challenges. Annika received her B.A. in urban studies from Barnard College in 2018. She conducted research for her senior thesis on issues of informality, public life, and public space in the outdoor second-hand clothes markets of Fianarantsoa, Madagascar (where she grew up). In and outside work, Annika loves being nerdy about urban design, maps, cycling, and public transit.
