SELECT START FILMS CELEBRATES MEERIM KAMCHYBEKOVA’S GRADUATION AND HER IMPACT ON EDUCATION

Select Start Films proudly celebrates the graduation of Meerim Kamchybekova from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education on May 23, 2024. Meerim, the beloved co-host of Season One of the enlightening travel docuseries “No Expectations,” continues to embody the series’ ethos through her profound contributions to global education.

“We are immensely proud of Meerim’s achievements at Harvard and her foundational role in the success of ‘No Expectations,'” said Alexander Beasley, co-founder of Select Start Films. “Her graduation marks not just a personal milestone but also underscores the values we cherish in our series—education, understanding, and the celebration of diverse cultures.”

Beyond her academic pursuits, Meerim has initiated significant educational projects. Her latest initiative employs artificial intelligence to transform educational access in underserved areas, demonstrating her commitment to education that is inclusive and innovative.

While Meerim was the co-host for Season One of ‘No Expectations,’ her influence continues to resonate throughout the series. Her ongoing projects and educational outreach continue to reflect the ideals of understanding and connectivity that ‘No Expectations’ champions.

As Meerim transitions from her role as a student to a global educational influencer, Select Start Films continues to draw inspiration from her journey. We are excited to see how her future endeavors will further shape educational practices and narratives around the world.
