I always liked writing and creativity, but I never imagined that I would end up doing both as a multimedia journalist.

I have just finished post-graduate course in Journalism New Media at Sheridan College (Oakville, Canada). However, my path to understanding that I want to combine my passions and my profession was not the shortest one.

I got my BA in Translation in Odessa National University (Ukraine) as well as Diploma of Specialist in English and German languages and literature. After that I spend two years in my dream country England gaining MA degree in Intercultural Communication.

I cannot imagine my life without sport and traveling. I play tennis as long as I can remember myself and ski since I was ten. I traveled all over Europe and now I am discovering the wonders of North America. My next goal is Asia!
