Driven by a passion for solving complex urban challenges, I’ve built my career around project management, interdisciplinary collaboration, and teaching. While pursuing my PhD at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), I researched the impact of cyberattacks on urban mobility, a project that sharpened my analytical skills and ability to lead diverse, cross-functional tasks.

Organizing international academic programs between KIT (Karlsruhe, Germany), OSACEA (Odessa, Ukraine), NAU (Kyiv, Ukraine), LPNU (Lviv, Ukraine), O.M. Beketov NUUEKh (Kharkiv, Ukraine) and KNU (Kyiv, Ukraine) by winning a DAAD grant further honed my coordination and communication skills, preparing me for complex international projects.

As a project manager in Baden-Baden, I led urban development initiatives, ensuring sustainable solutions through public engagement. This role, combined with my experience as a freelance brand consultant, gave me hands-on expertise in navigating both public and private sector projects, blending strategic planning with effective communication.

Teaching and mentoring at KIT and across international universities have fueled my commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation. Whether managing city planning projects or driving consulting initiatives, I focus on delivering impactful, interdisciplinary solutions that bridge research, public engagement, and practical outcomes.
