I'm a Film & HETV runner, having come into this industry from the world of opera singing. When war broke out in my home country Ukraine, I paused my filmmaking career and returned to Ukraine to start a frontline search & rescue and aid delivery organisation, United Europa. I made sure to find time between the aid work to document our efforts as a self-shooting PD, making short-form social media content to raise funds and give an upfront and personal account of the combat zone.

I'm back in the UK and have resumed my creative industries career, with my sights set on the roles of 2nd and 1st AD, and later down the line, Producer. I’m passionate about supporting new entrants and am committed to delivering consistency and quality in my role, keeping production on time and within budget.

My special interests are music videos, daring documentaries and commercials - the more visually stimulating and thought provoking, the better. I'm especially keen to venture deeper into the word of factual television and create challenging content that wins awards and changes lives. Some of my favourite movies include: The Science of Sleep (2006),  Kin-Dza-Dza (1986),  That Very Same Munchausen (1980),  The Colour of Pomegranates (1969),  Solaris (1972),  Melancholia (2011),  Being John Malkovich (1999).
