One Amazing Thing I've Done
One of the most intense experiences in my life was visiting high-security prison in Ukraine as a part of my work with Canadian observation mission at Ukrainian elections. Also, visiting occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk in early 2015 was one of a kind experience for me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell you a lot about Soviet period - like architecture, culture, world views, politics, philosophy. I can share my experience of working in humanitarian sector as well as some insights of Ukrainian military conflict. I am very happy to discuss women's rights movement in Ukraine and all over the world.
