I am a Kyiv native who is passionate about the Ukrainian language since childhood and has more than 20 years of experience in shaping and refining texts. I am a member of the Ukrainian Editors' Association with a decade of expertise in television, went on a journey from a journalist to an editor-in-chief and head screenwriter for social projects and investigative crime series.
As a communications specialist, I collaborated with the Starenki charity foundation, as well as the public organizations Yedyni and Association of Relatives of Political Prisoners of the Kremlin.
I am also the author of the “Movonka” blog, a Ukrainian language trainer for adults, and a moderator of international Ukrainian speaking clubs. After evacuating from occupied Bucha, I organized and led the longest daily volunteer language marathon of 2022, which lasted for over seven months. Due to the war, I had to relocate to Italy.
In 2024, I completed training with the INGO “International Leadership and Development Centre” and the Centre of Psychological Help “Confidence”, becoming a facilitator for Ukrainian women’s support groups during the war.
I keep the harmoniousness of our project’s writing in Ukrainian while sharing the stories of determined Ukrainians reshaping their lives and changing the world around them.
