In the year 1988 I began to study at the secondary school No22 in Makeevka, which still has a reputation of one of the best schools of the city. In my school days I took part and won first places in the regional interschool competitions in mathematics, Russian, Ukrainian and English languages. I have been keen on English since childhood, which had a great influence on my professional choice.

After moving to Donetsk in 1996 I studied at the secondary school No2 and completed my studies with excellent marks.

After having finished my school studies in 1998 I entered Donetsk State Technical University (now Donetsk National Technical University) at the International business activity department of the economics and management faculty and began studies on speciality International economy.

I made up my mind to study at this university, because this is the oldest higher education institution in Donbass and it is also considered to be the one of the best technical universities in Ukraine.

At school my favourite subjects were Mathematics and English, which I began to study in the third form and also I wanted to study other foreign languages. In due course this wish didn't disappear and even realised (I began to study German and French). At the middle classes I dreamt of entering Gorlovka Institute of Foreign Languages. Though having become older I understood that nowadays knowledge of foreign languages as well as computer knowledge is necessary but it does not have to be the main speciality. The speciality "International economy" I chose because education there suppose studying of English, Mathematics, which is conducted in English as well as a lot of other subjects, Computers, the second foreign language (compulsory), Scientific and Business Ukrainian, which is very important, especially, in country where this language is national, good knowledge of Economics and a lot of practical trainings in almost all of the subjects. Defence of my thesis will be in English and then I will get not only master's degree but also certificate of translator. Our studies are very interesting and exciting, and I am very grateful to our teachers for this.

In 2002 I passed my state exams and obtained the honours degree of bachelor in Economics and entrepreneurship.

Besides my studies at the university, I have many other interests main of which are literature and music. Also I play tennis and Russian billiards. I am fond of travelling, getting to know everything new and communicating with interesting people. Foreign languages play great role in my life. Recently I have opened for myself a new passion for diving. As I have already mentioned, I studied English at school. At the University I began to study German and French. For future I am planning to get a good command of these languages.
