Biography


Childhood

I was born on November 19th, 1988 in Mariupol (at that time the city was called Zhdanov). I am an only child in the family, but always wanted to have sister or brother… In kindergarten I have had wonderful teachers and children in the group. By the way, with some of the children I was study at school and university. The most wonderful moments in kindergarten connects with morning performances. I remember that on the one of New Year celebrations, I was played the role of Snow Queen. In kindergarten I the most disliked pea puree and a quiet hour. I was active child, my parents couldn’t keep me in one place. I remember that I had permanently broken knees and elbows. From childhood I have loved animals, but, unfortunately, I haven’t had my own pets, because with family we lived in small apartment, but I've always dreamed of a dog…

School years

In Autumn 1996, I went to first grade of secondary school № 31 of Mariupol. My first teacher was a wonderful teacher and person Terekhova Inna Valer’evna. Perhaps, therefore, in primary school I really wanted to become a teacher. I remember that on our first summer holidays, we have asked to learn multiplication tables, but I didn’t want to learn it. Finally I had to master the multiplication table, and in the future math became my favorite subject in school.

In high school algebra and geometry have taught by Shmyga Tamara Pavlovna. This teacher taught me a lot, for which I am always very grateful to her. Also at school I met my friends. My classmates were very active, so we never didn’t miss the opportunity to take part in school holidays. One of my "friends" during the school years was red-haired dog Lada. I remember Lada as a loyal friend of my childhood. School years passed quickly, and it was necessary to make a decision about the future direction in the life. If in the primary grades, I would like to become a teacher, and after the doctor or veterinarian, then by the end of school I became more interested working in the field of economics.

University life

Having successfully passed the final exams in school, I decided to enter the best university of Mariupol — Pryazovsky State Technical University (PSTU) on the specialty "Economics of Enterprise". However, unfortunately, or fortunately, I did not have enough points for entry into this specialty. With this points I could enter on the "Marketing". At that time I associated marketing only with advertising... but, after weighing all the pros and cons I decided to enter on this specialty. Since that time I have never regretted my choice. My first time studying at the university was difficult, but I soon got used to the rhythm of the university. The most interesting and memorable subjects I have on the first four courses in the university were Microeconomics (Anisimova O.N.), World Economy (Terticha L.I.), Informatics (Bursa A.G.), Ethics And Etiquette In The Business (Zusin V.Y.), Economic Analysis (Balashova O.V.), Statistics (Patoshina G.N.), Economics Of Enterprise (Chernata T.N.), Marketing Research (Derevyanko T.A.).

In the university I met wonderful friends and teachers, participated in student competitions and conferences. Quite interesting for me was the experience of student work in the field of competitive analysis, market research, marketing of territories. In July 2010 I received a bachelor’s degree with honors on the specialty “Marketing”. I also decided to try get master’s degree at the Donetsk National Technical University (DonNTU). I chose it, because in Spring I took part in one of the student conferences in DonNTU, and I really liked the professionalism of teachers who attended this conference.

Entrance examinations in DonNTU were successfully delivered and I entered in the master’s degree on the specialty “Economics of the enterprise: marketing”. It was quite difficult to part with a native university (PSTU), town, home, parents, and to go study, albeit not far, but in a different city and in totally different conditions. However, it was not so scary... Living in another city and studying at the fifth year in a totally unfamiliar university has helped me to become more independent and adult, overestimate the core values of life. I am very glad that my scientific supervisor for diploma is a Great Teacher Alexander Nikolaevich Yarim-Agaev.

Future Plans

At first time I’m going to write and successfully protect my master's work. After this I want to find an interesting work, that will not only generate income, but getting also moral satisfaction. I’m going to improve my English, also I want to learn German, Spanish and Latin, develop my knowledge in marketing, create a happy and strong family, traveling around the world, develop as individuals and find my place on the Earth.
