About

I’m Alina Pochynok, a marketing strategy and innovation postgraduate who loves turning research into clear, engaging campaigns. With experience consulting on brand and customer UX, plus hands-on work building digital content and growth for a language school, I enjoy connecting consumer insights to practical storytelling and measurable outcomes.

Fluent in English and Spanish, with a translation background in Ukrainian, I bring both analytical rigour and strong communication skills to marketing strategy, brand development, and performance-focused digital growth.
