  • Description

    I'm a very adventurous, passionate, welcoming, and empathetic person. I love helping people, having deep conversations, brainstorming ideas, exploring new places and cultures, and learning new things (I truly believe everything can become incredibly interesting if you take the time to really get to know it).

    I traveled for 3.5 years while working online, but at the end of August 2024, I took my 16-year-old brother out of Russia, and we started a new life together in Mexico City. While my brother visits our parents during the long winter holidays, I’d love the chance to explore a new place, do something meaningful, and meet interesting people.

    Traveling alone for so long and caring for my brother throughout his childhood and now has made me highly self-reliant, organized, and responsible.

  • More details about your skills

    My key professional skills are brand, marketing, and content strategy. If you need help taking your project to the next level, I can use both best practices and creative methods to make it happen. When it comes to social media content, I know how to make it actually bring value, instead of just posting photos and videos for the sake of it.

    I used to be a web designer, so if you have a website on any platform (WordPress, Webflow, etc.) or need designs for social media or print, I can help with that too (though I can’t do illustrations).

    I once spontaneously helped as a receptionist for a week at a hostel, and the owner asked me to stay for the whole season (unfortunately, I couldn’t at the time), so it seems like I can do this well:)

    I can also help with decorating spaces and cooking, and I’ve got experience building things with a screwdriver and hammer. Plus, I’m a fast learner, so if you need help with anything else, just show me how, and I’ll pick it up quickly.

  • What else ...

    I’ve hosted contact improvisation and group self-discovery practices. In each city where I've organized these events, many participants returned.

    I’ve also hosted deep connection events where, through an intro practice and providing groups with deep questions to discuss, total strangers were able to get to know each other on a profound level and truly connect. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to host something like this.

    I have a deep love for art and create it myself—it often reflects themes related to childhood in some way.
