Additional Information
After the war in Ukraine, I was kindly welcomed and hosted for a year by a noble family in London. During this time, I gained invaluable life experience and learned a great deal about managing personal and professional tasks in a new cultural context. This experience further developed my adaptability, resilience, and ability to learn.
