After graduating from the medical school in Voroshilovgrad in 1992, I worked for four years at a blood transfusion station. In 1996 I went into a private business. Created a restaurant, where I held exhibition, creative evenings, etiquette courses.
In 2014 I volunteered for the Jewish Community in Lugansk. In 2018 a letter from the «Women’s initiatives for Pease in Donbass” arrived there with an invitation to take part in dialogue meetings. I became a member of the expert group of the Donbass Dialogue, studied facilitation. In 2018 together with woman from all over the territories of Ukraine we organized the “Women”s Network for inclusive Peace and Dialogue” We held actions on the bridge in Stanytsia Luhanska and on the border of Ukraine/Russia to attract attention to the problems of crossing checkpoints. We sent letter with demands to the OSCE and to the office of the President.
Created with Tatiana Nosach a documentary theater “Visible.Doc” (Donetsk, Lugansk). Organized training for forumtheater in Luhansk . Since 2014 I have been writing short stories (publish in the collection “Dialogue through the pain of the war in Donbass”)
