Global citizen born & raised in Ukraine 🌍


About me:

I am Helen, a global Ukrainian and a product manager! Inspired by traveling and learning, I study at Minerva University (the world’s most innovative university), where I study artificial intelligence and finance while moving to a new country every semester. Changing locations and adapting to new cultures is my new 'comfortable'!

Besides work, I am only human after all:

🎵 I am a music fan!
I have studied piano and composition theory at music school for 8 years since I was 7 y.o. I love composing and singing. One of my favorite personal projects has been recreating Led Zeppelin’s songs with a choir and a band (must-watch!). And I do love my Spotify playlists!

🥾 Let’s go hiking!
I love walking as a way to clear my mind and hiking mountains is just another variation of my movement activities! My favorite hikes include Mt. Bukhansan in South Korea, Martial Glacier, and Laguna Esmeralda in Ushuaia, Argentina. 30k steps are not that hard after all 😅

✈️ Keep calm and travel.
I first left Ukraine at the age of 16 as an exchange student in the US after becoming a FLEX finalist. This experience has broadened my world perspective, so now I cannot imagine life without exploring new cultures, traditions, places, and food. I have documented some of my adventures on Youtube.
