I’ve been working in journalism since my student days. An accidental start turned into a gateway to explore the world, paving the way for travels and creative experiments. Today, it's a vital way for me to support my country’s war effort.
My 20-year career covers everything from radio and daily newspapers to business and historical journalism. Beyond writing and editing, I consult for media outlets, serve on the selection committee for the "Honor of the Profession" awards, and can debate the flaws of modern journalism for hours. Still, I know this is where I'm most effective. I believe high-quality media is essential, which is why I help create it—and why I’m with Yellow Blue.
Off the clock, I head for the outdoors. To balance my deeply digital professional life, I keep everything else as analog as possible. If you have a favourite weekend getaway spot in Ukraine, I’d love to hear about it 🙂
