WHO I AM 

  I am a person who started taking full responsibility for herself and her life at the age of 11, without relying on anyone else. A person who moved alone to Kyiv at 15 and began a completely new life. A person who doesn't just want to live comfortably and enjoy life — I have dreams, big ambitions, and clear goals. My existence is constant development and forward movement. Progress is like a drug to me — I always want more.   

My life credo: "Only forward, not a step back."  

 MY PATH (INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL EXPERIENCE) 

 - 1 year of professional drawing training at an art studio.  

- 1 year of Polish language courses and half a year of living in Warsaw. 

 - 2+ years of study at the Kyiv Academy of Arts and Beauty, specializing as a makeup artist, stylist, and prosthetics specialist. 

 - Tried myself as a tattoo artist, brow master, and sushi master. Also ran my own Instagram shop for half a year.

  - Explored other fields as well: infobusiness, the cruise industry, and many other areas that were interesting to me at certain periods of life — all to broaden my horizons and understand what I truly want. I had a deep desire to "find myself" and discover the work I want to devote my entire life to. 

 - Over the last 8 years, I have become deeply skilled at understanding people. What they want, what they fear, how they think, and how to influence their thinking without them even realizing it. (A quick remark: I don't consider myself some "grand manipulator from the dark triad." Quite the opposite. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience, and I intend to use them only for the benefit of myself and others.) This understanding comes from the life experience I've managed to gather in my 20 years.  

 How did I gain it, and why am I so confident making such bold claims?  

Let me explain: 

 - From the age of 11, I actively studied psychology on my own and talked with various specialists in this field. 

 - I studied different religions and spoke with people who believed in them. Two specific traditions captured my attention most: Buddhism/Judaism (in general, these kinds of directions — there are over 2,500 religions, so let's just say I studied a lot in this area and tried to stay open to new things). I also studied the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. 

- Plus, over the last 5 years I have moved 8 or 9 times (I've honestly lost count). Constant change of environment, different people always around me. I've also traveled quite a bit, so I already have some experience regarding which planet I'm on and who my "neighbors" are.   I could go on for a very long time about my life and everything I've managed to learn and realize, but this is a resume, not a biography. So let me move on to my actual skills, what I can do, and how I can be useful to you for your money.  

 MY CHARACTERISTICS 

  Aesthetic vision and my life idealism. I understand how to create not just an attractive picture, but also how to consider the details of functionality, usefulness, efficiency, and convenience. 

  Fast learner. I can figure out any topic on the fly if needed, and deliver at a decent level right away — even if it's something I'm doing for the first time in my life. Because I know one important rule: the main thing is to understand how the human learning mechanism works and how to adapt it and make it maximally effective. 

  Stress resistance, non-conflict nature, and adaptability. I believe any problem can be solved quickly if you concentrate on solving it instead of searching for who's to blame or giving in to unnecessary emotions. I easily find common ground with people and adapt. I usually try to f ind an individual approach to each person rather than just talking in a template, lifeless way just to get it done.  

Creativity. A creative and free way of thinking in life. I have never liked frames and templates, so combined with my broad visual awareness, this allows me to come up with things that haven't existed before and to think on a large scale. 

  Responsibility. For me, this has become not just a word about duties, but a basic setting of my psyche. You understand yourselves: without it, not only is it impossible to achieve anything in this life, but it's impossible to simply survive here. 

  Analytical mindset. After so many years, I would describe my thinking as that of a true AI, but at the same time, I have feelings and emotions. Which, in turn, gives me quite a significant advantage in intellectual activity.  

 WHAT I CAN DO AND HOW I CAN BE USEFUL   

In my relatively short life, I have tried myself in various fields (and this is not even the full list). I spent a long time deciding what I want from this life and how to earn a living. And I can finally say officially that for the next few years, I plan to work in the media sphere. I have one project that I've been thinking about and developing a plan for for almost 2 years. Almost everything is ready for its launch, but the time is not right yet — life circumstances don't allow me to fully dedicate myself to such a complex endeavor. So for now, I want to work in freelancing, earn money for a forced relocation, and upgrade some skills.   My main activity for the near future is helping businesses, brands, and bloggers grow. 

 - Consulting and assistance in running businesses and social media pages. 

 - Visual design.  

- Script writing.

  - Video editing.  

- Professional photo editing. 

 - Help with promotion and advertising.  

- Help with managing dialogue with potential clients.   

I'm also open to other related tasks in the media sphere. If you need something that's not on this list — just ask. Most likely, I can do it or learn it quickly.
