My path towards my profession
I was dreaming of becoming a doctor since in my childhood I got into a hospital where I observed doctors and nurses who, as I already understood at that time, were doing something important and very interesting. I was looking at those adult people who were walking confidently along the hospital corridors and taking children from O.R. to intensive care and then to the post-op unit. Back then I told one of the doctors that I will also definitely be a doctor when I grow up.
My wish was very much supported by my mother who was dreaming of becoming an obstetrician in her youth but then by circumstance got another profession. That is why when it was time for me to choose my higher education I applied to a Medical University.
My work now is my commitment. Incredible discoveries in fertility sphere now give such possibilities that even not far away seemed not feasible. And when you realize that you have these resources and that you can help, you must do it for those people who are seeking for this opportunity.
I am happy that my job is not only about help but about a life for others …
The O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic
The O.L.G.A. Clinic is a very important part of my life. Dreams come true here: the dreams of our patients about becoming parents, and the dreams of employees about professional self-development and the possibility of accumulating and applying unique knowledge and experience. It also happens to be one of the most incredible miracles in life: the birth of a new life.
I like the thought that a birth of a child in fertility is a result of teamwork. Patients, embryologists, and doctors – everyone contributes here and finally this wonderful outcome is a common happiness and illustration of an absolutely professional approach of every team member.
It is also important for me that there is warmth and comfort here, and that I feel like in a family circle: calm and safe. Colleagues are always ready to help, support and surround with care. And it will always be only the clearest, most accurate and professional support. We often refer to our team as the "dream team" and this is truly how it feels!

My personal interests
I am a person who prefers active lifestyle. When I have a day off, I walk around the city, visit museums and exhibitions, go to theatres. When I travel, I enjoy diving and visiting all possible sights and guided tours.
From my childhood I have been leaning towards sports. First, I practiced ball-room dancing and dreamt about figure skating. This dream I achieved when I was 14 years old and despite quite a late start, I got first class junior category in it. Later I joined a team of synchronized figure skating — this kind of sport is less known compared to single and pair skating, but it seemed to me more complex as it is a team sport where the result depends at the same time on professional skills of all the members and on the ability of every member to work in a team. It was then I understood that one can achieve much more if working in a team and not alone.
Every activity that I do I take seriously. So, when I decided to start jogging, I had a special course on a jogging technique. I know the difficulty and specifics of sport trainings so even with an amateur sport, I plunge into it not intuitively but with a number of basic techniques at my disposal.
After all, even if a process might seem simple, most likely it is real work done by true professionals. As behind an apparent simplicity there is always effort and experience.
