I’m fluent in English, French, Ukrainian, and Russian.

From working with diverse teams to managing high-stakes projects, I’ve experienced firsthand what it takes to communicate effectively in international settings. I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping you navigate small talk and professional interactions with ease.
