PERSONAL STATEMENT
I was evacuated from Ukraine with my mother and sisters at the start of the war in 2022 and have since made the
United Kingdom my permanent home. I hold an indefinite right to live and work in the UK.

I am currently studying Computing at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) and am seeking an entry-level
opportunity in IT or software development. Alongside my studies, I have over three years of professional
experience in high-pressure roles in London, which has strengthened my problem-solving, teamwork, and
communication skills.

I am highly motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in fast-paced environments, with a strong interest
in developing practical technical skills and building a career in the IT sector.
