I’ve always had a passion for education, organization, and finding creative ways to bring people together — and The San Francisco School has become the perfect place for all of that to thrive.
My journey started in Ukraine, where I earned two bachelor’s degrees: one in English Philology and Translation from a Pedagogical University, and another in Transport Technologies (yes — I’ve always loved combining different things!). I spent several years teaching English to both children and adults — in private schools, as a corporate instructor, and as a private tutor. Along the way, I also stepped into the roles of content creator and video producer for one of the schools I worked with, managing social media and marketing projects to help make learning visible and fun.
After relocating to Belgium due to the war in my home country, I joined DHL as a flight coordinator, supporting international logistics operations. But my heart remained in education — and when I moved to San Francisco, I found a welcoming and inspiring community at SFS.
I started at The San Francisco School as an Extended Day Teacher and Substitute Teacher in 2024 and quickly found myself deeply involved in school life. From helping students craft their yearbook to supporting daily operations and planning summer camps, I found joy and purpose in every part of the work. In 2025, I took on the role of Summer Program Coordinator and Interim Classroom and Operations Support.
I enjoy learning languages and speak Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian fluently, with some conversational French, Spanish, and Dutch under my belt. Outside of school, I love to travel and explore new corners of the U.S., go hiking, paint, practice yoga, or daydream about my next creative project — ideally with a cup of tea in hand.
