I have guided students and professionals through the complexities of master's program options, helping them identify the ideal program to achieve their long term career goals. Whether you're looking to pivot careers or enhance your current trajectory, I'm here to help you navigate the process with confidence. Let's connect and make your master's program aspirations a reality!

A couple of words about me: I am a political analyst of Ukrainian-Russian origin. Throughout my BA, I have studied at five universities in 4 countries, Ukraine, Estonia, Croatia and Germany. During my BA studies, I was awarded five various scholarships, amounting to more than 80,000 EUR. Moreover, I have received full scholarships and funding for more than 10 conferences and schools around Europe. This year, I applied to just two universities for my Master`s. One was SciencesPo Paris, ranked as the 4th best university in the world for studying political science (and 1st best in the EU, QS ranking). I got accepted to one of its most selective programs, International Governance and Diplomacy at the Paris School of International Affairs (the school's acceptance rate is under 20%). I was offered free tuition there. Moreover, I managed to get a successful deferral of my studies for the next year in order to finish my 1-year MSc in the UK and return to Paris afterwards. The second university I applied to was the University of Oxford (1st best university in the world according to Times ranking, 2nd best for politics according to QS). This year, I was offered a place in a 9-month MSc in Russian and East European Studies at the School of Global and Area Studies at the University of Oxford. The acceptance rate for this program was under 20%. At Oxford, I was granted a prestigious EAA Qatar scholarship, a full scholarship of more than 70,000 EUR for my studies. This scholarship is highly competitive, with just three winners, and I am honoured to be one of them. Therefore, this fall I am departing for Oxford for my Master`s. On the professional side, I have 3.5+ years of experience writing for top-notch media, where I have more than 50 articles published. Since 2022, I have been working as a monthly political writer at one of the most prestigious US think-tanks, Center for European Political Analysis. Between 2023 and 2025, I worked as a Senior Editor for Long Form Content at one of the biggest legal online media, JURIST. Moreover, I authored publications for VoxEurop, European Journalism Observatory and other media outlets. Therefore, my writing skills were honed by highly professional editors. I am keen on helping promising students get accepted for their Master`s. I have vast experience studying in various countries and universities since 2020, thus I am acquainted with the specifics of higher education in various regions. Now, at the age of 20, I have a history of securing more than 150,000 USD in funding for my academic path, and experience of studying at top-notch universities around Europe. Moreover, I was granted fully-funded places in highly competitive schools with acceptance rates between 3 and 7%. I aim to become not only an occasional consultant but a genuine mentor who can address the students' concerns. I worked for several years as a political adviser for politicians; therefore, I know how to find a personalised approach to various kinds of people and highlight their strong sides.

Here's something people don't know about me: prior to business school, I worked on Capitol Hill and for a lobby group of business CEOs. I chose not to go to HKS because I didn't need more politics in my life. However, policy is in my blood, and I love working on the all MPP type applications, including Columbia's SIPA or Georgetown, or Johns Hopkins SAIS. For the Kennedy School, in the two-year and the mid-career program I have close to a 95% success rate. That's because in addition to thinking like a policy wonk, I consider these applications a labor of love. There's no interview for HKS, and the application and resume are demanding! But I'm here for it.
