Education – master's degree in philosophy from V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. 

I have been working in journalism for more than 5 years. I started at the regional media outlet "Zmist" (2020–2025), where I specialized in covering medicine, culture, history and the economy, and was also an author, presenter and manager of video projects on the outlet's YouTube channel. 

In 2020–2024, I edited the newspaper "Atikva" of the Poltava Jewish foundation "Hesed Nefesh" on a volunteer basis. In 2024, I took part in a press tour to the EU institutions in Brussels for media representatives and completed the EU Delegation to Ukraine training "The EU: Simply About the Complex". 

I won second place in a competition for regional media journalists within the EU Delegation's communication campaign "Learning and Growing Together" in the "Online Media" category. 

From October 2025 to August 2026, I worked in the economics department of Channel 24 as an editor of exclusives. Drawing on expert opinions, I cover macroeconomics, finance, real estate, energy and utilities. I write about the labor market and labor migration, the agricultural sector and the consumer market. Currently – editor of short videos on Channel 24's YouTube.

I speak English at the Upper-Intermediate level, which allows me to get comments from foreign speakers and gather materials from English-language sources.
