Hello hello :) I am a University of Chicago alumna who holds a degree in Cognitive Science, in which I studied the human mind from a neuroscientific and philosophical perspective, and with cognitive science being relatively new, this knowledge is precious as it gives me a rare insight into human attention and how to get hold of it with words. This unique knowledge is valuable for any job, especially in the contemporary world powered by AI. Alongside this, my passion is creative writing. I have done personal storytelling, journalism, communications and media relations in internships in Chicago and New York. I know Ukrainian, Russian, English (all fluent), French (intermediate), Polish (basic), and am very excited to bring my special mix of linguistic and interpersonal background to your company. Currently, I am located in Warsaw, but happy to relocate to Western Europe or America.
