Starting as an Office Manager for part-time, I quickly grew into a Project Coordinator role where I discovered my passion for dynamic work in multinational environment. I coordinated international projects in Russian speaking countries, using Russian and English on daily basis in communication with foreign partners. Despite enjoying this kind of work, the challenging job market situation led me to make a risky decision - to pivot my career towards software development.

I completed a Master’s program in Russian-language Translation & Interpreting at Masaryk University, Brno. During these two enriching years, I focused on technical translation and interpreting, honing specialized skills that have deeply influenced my professional approach.
2012 — 2015
Driven by a passion for foreign languages, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Russian with a focus on Commercial Practice. This combination of linguistics and business opened my eyes to the practical and commercial potential of language skills in the professional world.
