My path towards my profession
I was born in the city of Kostomuksha in a family of absolute workaholics. I decided to become a doctor when I was in the 11th grade. There were no doctors in my family in any generation. I chose my profession not by family vocation or the call of the soul, but rather based on my strengths. I studied well at school, and I especially loved biology and chemistry. I also always understood that working with people attracts me more than working with papers. Although I was then afraid of the sight of blood and injections, I still decided that I should have a go in medicine.
When I started studying at the medical college, I realized that I had not made a mistake with the choice of profession, but, having received a diploma, I wanted to start working as soon as possible.
The first job once again confirmed the correctness of my choice. I got into a very warm and friendly environment, and the work was 100% a pleasure. I was surrounded by very high-level specialists, it was a great start to my professional development.
Everyone knows that professionalism in medicine comes only through great experience and hard work. I am grateful to my family for instilling in me the ability to be dedicated to my work and to be very respectful towards my chosen profession. And I am also grateful to all my colleagues for the generously shared experience. Putting into life all the accumulated knowledge, I help people, and this becomes our common merit.
The O.L.G.A. Clinic
My job at O.L.G.A. Clinic is to help our patients prepare for IVF procedures. I answer all patient questions related to their treatment process: the specifics of taking medications and injections, clarifications on procedures or tests.
My mission is to be a link between patients and doctors, and to take on everything that is within my responsibilities so that patients receive a quick and competent answer, and the doctor is not distracted from the main focus: analyzing patients' medical histories, drawing up individual treatment plans, patient appointments and conducting examinations.
The O.L.G.A. Clinic has an amazing team. When I see how much my colleagues are involved in their work, how much everyone is immersed in the medical process of our patients and in achieving our patients’ goals, I understand that we are truly a team of professionals and like-minded people.
It is also important for me to realize how respectfully and warmly we treat each other, support each other, and not only as colleagues, but also in other aspects of life. Support, respect, understanding, tact — these are important components of the team for me. The O.L.G.A. Clinic brought together very high-level specialists in all areas of the process and at the same time very warm and sympathetic people, and this makes it possible to feel at work as if you are in a warm family circle. I trust my colleagues 100% and that is priceless.
Patients in our clinic are also a very important part of the atmosphere. Quite often the ones who come to us have already been through a long way towards their goal. And accompanying such people, giving them professional and emotional support, is a great privilege.
In general, fertility is a very important area for me. This is one of the few, as it seems to me, areas where the result of work — small, beautiful children — can please the heart so much.

My personal interests
All my childhood and youth I was busy: I learned to play the piano, practiced karate and dancing, and I really liked all this. At some point, I had to choose between sports and music, and I chose music. So, I graduated from a music school in piano, having studied for 8 years. And in the 10-11th grades I mastered the guitar a little. In general, I was always busy with something. Since then, probably, I have retained the habit of not sitting idle.
After entering college, my main hobby was still studying, as we studied from morning until late at night.
After receiving my diploma, I moved to St. Petersburg. From the first day of work until today, I’ve devoted a lot of time to work, because I wanted to get enough experience in order to feel confident in the profession. And now I am the mother of a beautiful daughter and spend almost all my free time in household and maternal chores.
When my daughter is a little older, I look forward to discovering this wonderful city and its sights together. And when I have some time that I can devote only to myself, then I will most likely return to yoga. And then to the guitar ... Although, maybe it will be dancing. Who can foresee the desires of a woman who will have time for small personal joys. One thing I know for sure: I will not sit idle. My life is about moving...
