Additional Information
Based on my experience and skills, I can say that I am capable of working in a variety of settings to achieve the set goals and results. I would also like to note that my experience working with international organizations such as UNDP and IOM has given me excellent skills for working in an international environment, an understanding of different cultures, and the ability to build relationships with my colleagues.
Yachting, photography
My sailing experience consists of having served as a crew member—specifically, a deckhand—on a small racing yacht (1/4-ton class). This experience gave me a deep understanding of how to work as part of a team to achieve set goals and results. It also taught me how to analyze a given situation and find the right solutions in extreme situations and under time pressure.
What attracts me to photography is the creative freedom, as well as the need to think ahead about the composition of the shot and how to take into account a number of interrelated factors to create a successful photo.
