Hi, I’m Arina - a business and economics enthusiast with hands-on experience across partnerships, events, and digital projects. I’ve worked with international teams, student organizations, startups, and large-scale events, where I handled everything from partner outreach and negotiations to coordination, promotion, and brand communication. I’ve been actively involved in international volunteering, partnerships, and event management, collaborating with both local and global companies and communities. This gave me a strong mix of business thinking + creative execution. I know how to communicate ideas, build connections, and get things done. Right now, I’m focused on content-driven projects and assistance in a business environment always aiming to bring fresh ideas, structure, and results. I’m proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy turning concepts into something people actually care about.
