Career English Coach

Business English and corporate communication trainer — 9+ years in project management, and a writer.

I am an enthusiastic person who has natural curiosity to this world. People say I am a creative person with strong communication skills.

My purpose is to connect people, ideas, and cultures by creating harmony, meaningful relationships, and projects that contribute positively to the world.

My professional journey is a vivid reflection of this mission. After graduating in Linguistics, I worked in hospitality and later transitioned into the tech industry, where I held diverse international roles. Across all these environments, one thing remained constant: I was always building bridges between countries, businesses, teams, and communities.

In every position I’ve held, I naturally gravitated toward communication, relationship-building, and cross-cultural collaboration. Whether working with international partners, global teams, or multicultural clients, my focus has always been on aligning people, ideas, and goals to create meaningful results.
