Hey there. My name is Iana. I am currently a Master student at Hochschule Schmalkalden. Being originally from Ukraine, I have moved to Germany to get my Master degree almost three years ago.

I can describe myself as friendly and communicative. I love getting to know people, their backgrounds and cultures.
