I was born and grew up in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.

After majoring in journalism in St. Petersburg, I began my career as a business journalist in the Vedomosti newspaper, a joint project of The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal. A few years later, I founded the PR agency that quickly became one of the most respected and efficient agencies in St. Petersburg.

Over the course of 14 years, we have successfully executed numerous projects for our clients, ranging from publishing articles in leading Russian and international media to producing audiovisual content and organizing high-profile events such as press conferences, business gatherings, corporate tours, and communication trainings.

In 2022 I relocated to Germany, where I have since been applying my extensive experience, skills and network from Berlin.
