Summary

I am a highly adaptable and internationally oriented individual with experience living and studying across multiple countries, including Ukraine, Poland, and the United Kingdom. Growing up in Donetsk and later moving to Kyiv, Warsaw, and London has strengthened my ability to quickly adapt to new environments and work within diverse cultural and professional settings. I am fluent in five languages: English, Polish, German, Russian, and Ukrainian, which allows me to communicate effectively in international environments. I am particularly interested in commercial law, with a strong focus on mergers and acquisitions, and I am motivated to pursue a career in this sector.
