Summary of Qualifications
An experienced specialist in Middle Eastern studies and law, with a particular interest in the
Levant region. I currently hold the position of First Secretary at Ukraine's MFA
representation in Lviv. I have in-depth knowledge of law, gained through my studies at Ivan
Franko National University of Lviv and Lviv State University of Internal Affairs.

Furthermore, I believe my experience as an Arabic language teacher at the Muhammad Asad
Islamic Cultural Centre in Lviv and the Ukrainian Catholic University positively influenced
my development as a versatile professional. I would also like to highlight my translation
experience in court, which taught me to work effectively under increased pressure and high
workload.
