An avid story-teller for whom 'Panda" actually often sounds like "Pun? Duh!"
Education
- Master's degree in finance, Odessa National Economic University, Ukraine
Activity & Interests
- I have 3 kids, 2 dogs and a guinea pig
- However I still find time for various hobbies like trivia games, sports, fantasy and sci-fi. A longtime supporter of Boston Celtics and Dallas Cowboys
- A devoted fan of JRRT, GRRM, JKR and other respective abbreviations, still desperately believing that an owl with my Hogwarts invitation letter had lost it somewhere..
Overview
After many years of working as sports journalist and trivia game author and host in Ukraine I joined Bored Panda as a content creator. I do love writing stories and I sincerely believe - there's no dull plots at all. Like a great Italian composer Joaquino Rossini once told: "Give me a police protocol - and I'll make an opera out of it!"
