About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be the change you want to see

ABOUT ME

Cool, smart, emotional. I have a two-sided CV: since my high-school I was trying to go in two directions at the same time: economics and journalism. Following journalism school at Gaudeamus and studing the Global Economic Relations at the University. I really like diversity and this world has plenty of it.
Funny enough now I ended up in a field of IT, SAP databases precisely.
Originally from Russia, it has now been more than 8 years that I live and work in Belgium.

I love sport: climbing is my pure dope. Also jogging, stretching, volleyball, snowboarding.

I enjoy learning languages and understanding the culture of other people!
I speak these in the descending order of knowing: Russian, English, French, Dutch, Spanish...

PHILOSOPHY

Never plan your life, take it as it comes. Never regret anything. Never say never.
