I'm a third-year advertising student at OCAD University in Toronto, blending a passion for storytelling with hands-on experience. From impactful video projects with The Investigative Journalism Foundation to shaping narratives at Calib.Farm, Radar Media, and Canyon Entertainment Group, I've honed my skills in writing, brand promotion, and multimedia content creation. Armed with a journalism degree from Humber College and a track record contributing to publications like Toronto Life and Novella, I bring a unique storytelling perspective. In 2021, I authored "Once IWas Born," a book released in Russian. As I navigate my academic and professional journey, my goal is to leave a lasting mark in the world of storytelling and beyond.
