Celebrating Motherhood and Ambition: the story of Clare Hall Alumna Nita Wakan

13 March 2026 Life Members

In celebration of upcoming Mother’s Day, we are delighted to highlight the inspiring journey of Clare Hall alumna Nita Wakan.

During her time at Cambridge, Nita balanced the demanding world of postgraduate study with life as a mother. With determination, support from her community, and the welcoming environment she found at Clare Hall, she navigated both academic and family life while rethinking the direction of her career.

Originally working in consulting, Nita used her time at Cambridge to pivot toward sustainable finance, aligning her professional path with her values and the global need for responsible investment. Her story is a reminder that motherhood and ambition are not competing paths but can grow together with resilience, creativity, and support.

We are proud to celebrate Nita and all the mothers in our Clare Hall community! 🌷
