I was born in Eurasia, in the heart of Central Kazakhstan, With deep ethnic roots in the Kipchak-Bulgar culture and Russian and Tatar as my mother tongues. I grew up surrounded by a mix of cultures, languages, and traditions that blended together naturally. It was a colorful, lively environment that shaped how I see the world and taught me to value diversity in all its forms.

I hold a Bachelor's in English and German, a Master's in Neuroscience of Language, and a Master's in Emotional Intelligence, combining academic rigor with hands-on experience.

My career began as a Professor of English Philology and Translation Studies. Then, during my time with an international human rights organization, I gained my first invaluable experience as an interpreter and cultural mediator, bridging gaps and fostering understanding across diverse communities. This experience was a cornerstone that set the stage for my future endeavors.

Later, I moved to Southern Europe, where I contributed to diverse international projects for some of the largest localization companies, including Lionbridge, Tek Translation International, and Celer Pawlowski, leading Linguistic Quads for large-scale, cross-cultural initiatives. For the past 12 years, I have been serving as Head of Languages at one of Spain’s largest engineering firms, overseeing global communication and localization strategies.

As a multilingual specialist, I have always been fascinated by the intersection of language, culture, and technology. Over the past 15 years, I have shared my expertise as a Subject Matter Expert in business communications, team leadership, emotional intelligence, and AI training, with a strong focus on promoting responsible and human-centered AI practices. My work also spans human rights, the inclusion of minorities and vulnerable groups, ethics, and governance in technology, ensuring that AI and digital innovations serve people equitably and ethically.

Beyond my professional work, I serve as a visiting lecturer and educational facilitator, inspiring and guiding future generations toward ethical, inclusive, and human-centered approaches to technology. I also contribute to Meer as a writer, exploring the societal impact of AI and advocating for its responsible, equitable, and conscientious application.
