Bridging Cultures & ​Inspiring Change

From exploring new worlds to forging my own path, my ​journey has been a testament to the power of pursuing your ​passions and embracing change. I’ve learned that success ​comes from daring to dream big and taking bold steps ​towards those dreams. Whether it was excelling ​academically, venturing into entrepreneurship, or connecting ​people through innovative events, my story is a reminder ​that with determination, creativity, and a willingness to ​adapt, you can shape your own future and inspire others ​along the way.

Bio

Born in Kazakhstan and raised in Germany from the age of 3, I’ve ​always navigated between cultures, languages, and dreams. My passion ​for English sparked early, fueled by a fascination with song lyrics and a ​yearning to explore the world. This desire led me to spend half a year in ​Pennsylvania, living the American Dream by caring for three energetic ​boys and immersing myself in a new culture.

Back in Germany, I was determined to prove that I could excel ​academically, not just to myself but to others as well. I earned a ​Bachelor of Arts in 2014, followed by a Master of Arts in 2016, both ​with top grades. My time at university also allowed me to support ​students in their academic and career journeys and to become an ​advocate for women's empowerment.

In 2020, I made the bold decision to leave academia and carve out my ​own path as an entrepreneur. This leap of faith took me around the ​world, ultimately leading me to Cape Town, where I’ve found a place ​that feels like home. I’ve combined my expertise in coaching with my ​passion for social media, helping entrepreneurs and businesses define ​their brand and connect authentically with their audience.

My journey may seem unconventional, but at its core, it’s driven by a ​deep desire to empower others—whether through guiding them in their ​careers or helping them find their voice. I’ve also founded a networking ​and speaker event in Cape Town, where people come together to share ​insights and build meaningful connections. Looking forward, I’m excited ​to continue creating and collaborating with like-minded individuals ​through my latest venture, the youdoyou.production.

Education

Driven by a desire to excel, I earned a ​Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in ​Educational Science with top honors. My ​academic journey wasn’t just about ​learning—it was about proving that with ​focus and passion, anything is possible.

Experience

This commitment continued in my ​professional life, where I supported ​students in their academic and career ​pursuits and advocated for women’s ​empowerment through my work at the ​university.

In 2020, I left academia to build my own ​business. Now, I’ve combined my love ​for social media with my coaching ​experience, helping entrepreneurs and ​businesses craft their online presence.

Businesses & Projects

What might seem like a shift in careers ​is, in fact, a natural evolution. Whether in ​coaching or social media management, ​my goal remains the same: to help ​others define who they are, what they ​stand for, and how they can achieve their ​goals.

This is also the driving force behind my ​networking event, 3 AFTER FIVE, where ​people connect, learn, and grow together ​in a relaxed setting.

Looking ahead, I’m excited about my ​next venture, youdoyou.production, a ​community for entrepreneurs where ​creativity meets collaboration.
