Hallo! I'm Jasmine Kijam.
I work across operations, data, and systems thinking, with a background in architecture and marketplace platforms. I’m interested in how stories, places, incentives, and institutions shape how people live and work.
This site is a personal archive of work, writing, field notes, and fragments: from humanitarian systems and platform operations to travel, music, and Rottweilers.
Here’s why this site is called Run To The Hills.
