I’ve been working in journalism all my life, despite several attempts to leave the field. I started in Zaporizhzhia as a host on wired Radio Three, then moved to Kyiv, where I worked for daily newspapers. Later, I began writing stories for Focus magazine and the Babel website. As a freelance author, I was published in Ukrainian Esquire, Charitum, Reporters, and other outlets. I’ve also collaborated with charities such as Enjoying Life, savED, and UAnimals.
Since 2024, I’ve been an editor in the long-form stories department at LIGA.net and a mentor for novice journalists at the Media Development Foundation.
I am convinced that there is nothing more fascinating in the world than human stories.
