I am a Brooklyn-based writer, editor, and content developer with nearly two decades of experience in print, video, and digital media, specialized in adapting complex information into engaging audio-visual formats for a broad audience. During my time as senior editor at the microlearning app Uptime, I led a team of writers in creating interactive summaries of books, documentaries, and other educational content, while at TED-Ed I researched, scripted, and edited hundreds of video lessons on philosophy, history, science, and everything else under the sun.
Over the years, I’ve presented at academic conferences, published articles on subjects ranging from history to music and cinema, and been a guest and co-producer on podcasts covering news, culture, and politics. My writing has appeared in American Affairs, The Point, and Voice of America. As a Ukrainian-born native Russian speaker, I’ve also participated in panels and interviews about the ongoing war as well as providing translation services.
I’m currently available for new projects and collaborations, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
