About Me

I hold a Master’s degree in Tourism and have spent over 10 years working in the travel industry as an Odesa tour guide and travel writer for magazines like Total Escape and Folga.

When the full-scale Russian invasion began, I shifted my focus to working as a local producer for international media. Since then, I’ve been helping top outlets like Le Figaro, Politiken, and Radio France navigate the ground reality, while also producing my own independent reports for Deutsche Welle and We Are Ukraine.

Starting from October 2023, I worked in a company Global Outreach Doctors in Donbas. From February 2024 to September 2025, I worked with the NGO Frontline Medics, including on-the-ground deployments in the Donetsk region. In this role, I managed cross-functional responsibilities spanning interpretation, accounting, and communications.

I continue to provide war updates on my Instagram and have launched my Patreon. Operating as a personal war diary, it features my firsthand reflections and insights on the ongoing situation

Available for international media projects—specializing in war crime coverage and investigative journalism—as a producer, translator, or communications manager. Also open to roles as a medical military coordinator or project manager, bringing extensive on-the-ground fieldwork and logistical experience. Open to new proposals.
