I was born and raised in Ukraine, where I learned the value of hard work, adaptability, and staying grounded - even when things get challenging. Tennis became a big part of my life early on and eventually brought me to the U.S., where I played at the collegiate level and captained my team. That experience taught me how to lead and handle pressure, and how to show up for others - skills that now shape how I approach my work.
For the past several years, I’ve worked as a certified tennis professional and program manager, overseeing a wide range of classes, coordinating staff, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations across a busy tennis facility. I’ve managed scheduling, payments, staffing, and communication with both clients and vendors—often juggling multiple moving parts at once. I enjoy building structure in fast-paced environments and finding creative ways to solve problems as they arise.
From planning events to organizing community fundraisers, I’ve learned how to adapt quickly, prioritize effectively, and stay focused on both the details and the bigger picture. I thrive in spaces where collaboration, flexibility, and purpose come together—and where I can be part of something that creates impact.
Outside of work, I enjoy creative projects that keep my hands and mind busy - especially book rebinding, which has become my favorite hobby, and I love the process of giving stories a new life through physical design.
