I am a Brooklyn-based freelance 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. My clients have included Voice of America, Boston Consulting Group, and TED-Ed, for whom I researched, scripted, and edited hundreds of video lessons on philosophy, history, science, and everything else under the sun. As Lead Editor at the microlearning app Uptime, I managed a team of writers and editors in creating interactive summaries of books, documentaries, and other educational content.
Over the years, I’ve presented at academic conferences, published articles on subjects ranging from Aztec black metal to the history of masculinity, and been a guest and co-producer on podcasts covering news, culture, and politics. As a Ukrainian native and Russian speaker, I’ve also participated in panels and interviews about the ongoing war as well as providing translation.
I’m currently available for new projects and collaborations, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
