I was born in Brest, Belarus. Moved to Minsk (the capital) to study and work at 17. Studied, worked and lived for 10+ years here. I relocated to Poland in 2020. And just adore the people, the culture and the country in general. I am even learning Polish. My passion is teaching and IT. I have been working as a Minsk State Linguistic University instructor of the English language for 3,5 years. Then moved to an IT field and have been working as a Project manager ever since 2017. I love learning new languages (Italian, German, Polish, not counting English), cycling (travelled through some countries on my bike), hiking in the mountains, reading (you name it - I read a lot), psychology, music.
