Speaking
& Advisory

Jane Yevgenia Muschenetz works at a rare intersection: trained as a quantitative analyst (MIT Sloan, Bain & Company), with the lived experience of a refugee from Soviet Ukraine, a mother, and a visual artist. She writes poetry that translates data, culture, and geopolitical force into literary and visual form — guided by the conviction that art, at its best, opens us to possibility.

Her talks bring rigorous empirical thinking and lifelong reverence for different points of view into literary and cultural spaces, and lyric acuity into academic, civic, and policy contexts. She crosses disciplinary and cultural divides with empathy and intellectual honesty. Author of POWER POINT (Sheila-Na-Gig Editions, 2024) and All the Bad Girls Wear Russian Accents (Kelsay Books, 2022), winner of the 2025 National Press Women Communications Prize. Available for keynotes, panels, readings, workshops, and interdisciplinary programming — in person and virtually.
