Editor
I am a Kyiv native who is in love with the Ukrainian language and has been shaping and refining texts for 20 years. I am a member of the Association of Ukrainian Editors and have 10 years of experience in television, progressing from journalist to chief editor and lead scriptwriter for social projects and investigative crime series.
As a communications specialist, I collaborated with the Starenki charity fund, as well as the civic organizations Yedyni and the Association of Families of Kremlin Political Prisoners.
I am also the author of the Movonka blog, a Ukrainian language trainer for adults, and a moderator of international Ukrainian conversation clubs. After evacuating from occupied Bucha, I organized and led the longest-running daily volunteer language marathon of 2022, lasting over seven months. Due to the war, I had to relocate to Italy.
In 2024, I completed training with the International Centre for Development and Leadership and the Confidence Psychological Support Centre, becoming a facilitator for Ukrainian women’s support groups.
I keep the poetic essence of our project’s writing alive and share the stories of determined Ukrainians reshaping their lives and the world around them.
