My birth.
My birthday coincides with my grandfather’s birthday. My grandfather, Afanasiy Belev, one of the most important people in my life, has become an example for me. I am his first granddaughter, and his pride. From him I inherited the Bulgarian blood, throbbing in my veins.
My father, Alexandr Zhyriakov, born in Ulan-Ude (the capital city of the Buryat Republic, Russia), worked at the Steelworks, now retired. My mother, Victoria Zhyriakova, worked as an engineer in the field of ecology (protection of water), now retired. Mother is a wonderful adviser teaching me always strove to do my best. Parents inculcated in me a love of nature, books and art.
My brother, Denis Zhiryakov, is manager.
The scenes of my childhood were really wonderful times in atmosphere filled with love, great respect for family traditions, knowledge and science.
In a kindergarten teacher found out that I am different from other children, so I was the only trusted to solve various puzzles.

This is my school years short history: time of successes in sport, as well as in studying. My favorite subjects were math, biology, English. In the Mariupol Mathematics Olympiad I took second place.

In 2001, after 8th form of school, I entered the Mariupol City Liceum for in-depth study of physics and math. But at that time, I became an enthusiastic student about chemistry and literature. Also, I actively participated in the public life of the Liceum. At the contest «The Spring Queen» I won Miss Romantic. I was the best student in the group.

Donetsk National Technical University
In 2004 I entered Physical and Metallurgical Faculty of Donetsk National Technical University by the rating tests. My choice was «Ecology and Environment Protection» because of growing influence of environmental pollution on human health and quality of life. Moreover, within this speciality there was a possibility of studying the French language and thus, I became also student of the French Engineering Faculty.
French absorbed me, so that soon appeared my first poetry, printed in «Sans Frontières».
Since 2005, I learn Polish at Polish Engineering Faculty. I took individual lessons of German. In fact I enjoyed every minute of my student life, especially I was in love with foreign languages and was learning everything possible in French, English, Polish, German.
In 2006, my French work on the promotion of museums (by the example of Donetsk Regional Museum) won the international competition «Allons en France 2006». As a prize winner I was invited to Paris for the trip to museums. One of the most colorful impressions in my life.
In 2007, the month in «Polish Language and Culture» Summer School at Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in Lublin. Krakow made a particular impression on me as I had discovered the city of artists and of unique historical relics. In the same year, a trip to Warsaw-Lodz consisting of 20 participants of Polish Engineering Faculty. The acquaintance with the history and culture of cities, economic trainings and lectures about «how to build a career» were included in program.
In 2008, in the competition by Embassy of France in Ukraine my tourist mini guide of Donetsk for french speaking people recognized as the best as well as guides of Kharkiv, Lvov, Louhansk, Odessa.
In the same year, I received a Bachelor's Degree with honors.

Since September 2008, I have the emission inventory (as well as other supporting documents) development experience.
I have a number of scientific publications.
My favorite disciplines were organic chemistry, environmental monitoring, landscape ecology, IT. During studying at the university, I gained not only specific knowledge and skills, but also a taste for work and new discoveries.
In December 2009, I will defend my master's work.
I have a strong desire to grow professionally, build a successful career, contribute to improving the quality of habitat. Every day more and more to expand their horizons and knowledge, to visit some European countries, United States, Japan, Australia. Intend to improve and use my language skills and to learn also Italian and Spanish.
So I want work, achieve results, think up new possibilities, to gain a larger view of life.
