Description

Hello! I'm a project manager in refugee support and integration in Bratislava, Slovakia, and a passionate animal lover with a dog and a cat. My family means the world to me—I’m a proud mother of two wonderful kids, a boy and a girl, and lucky to have a loving husband who fully supports my adventures. I speak Slovak, English, and Russian, with a bit of French, and I’m excited to spend a few months in Africa to learn and contribute wherever I can. I volunteered in Tanzania twice teaching English community members and Customer skills to students, in Uganda helping with grants proposal writing, menstruation hygiene for girls, financial literacy lessons. I also was in Morocco and Ethiopia.

I have more than 10 years of teaching experience (I worked at the bilingual secondary school, teaching Russian and English). I prefer to work with children aged 14+.

I'm enthusiastic, adaptable, and always ready to pack my bags for a new experience. Looking forward to meeting like-minded people along the way!

More details about your skills

I’m a hands-on project manager in refugee support and integration, and I love connecting with people from all walks of life. I’m all about building trust and making others feel comfortable—I’ve got strong social and listening skills and an open, non-judgmental approach to everyone I meet. Languages are a big part of that too: I speak Slovak, English, Russian, and a bit of French, which helps me connect with folks from all over.

I’m quick to pick up new skills and love diving into new challenges. Whether it’s managing projects, lending a hand with animals, or supporting community activities, I bring a positive attitude and enjoy working with others to make things happen. Ready to learn, adapt, and hopefully make some great memories along the way!
