I started my journey in a typical middle school, but I craved more. After competing to enter, I was accepted into the Lyceum of Information Technology. Though I excelled in my earlier school years, my first semester in the Lyceum was humbling—I went from straight As to a C in physics. Still, I graduated with honors in just three years.

As I entered university, I was advised to “play it safe” and choose Geology. But I followed my passion and pursued International Business. Later, after working in finance, I was offered a lateral move to Human Resources—a shift that raised eyebrows but aligned with my calling. I took the leap, even though finance still held a special place in my heart.

When I left the global corporate world to join SoftServe, a Ukrainian company, some questioned my choice. But I knew I wanted to contribute to Ukraine, making its name resonate in the global business arena. And when it came to starting my own business in the U.S., people advised me to stick with a steady job, yet I chose to follow my passion, bringing love and purpose to the workplace.
