Graduated from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with a degree in Jurisprudence in 2016. For five years I have been working in the field of law, two of which as a lawyer. I have experience in coordinating a project related to ensuring the publicity and openness of trials in Ukraine. I believe that ensuring transparency and openness in the activities of the entities of power is a key to corruption prevention.
