What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation.

I am a dedicated professional with over 5 years of experience in project management and communication, specializing in the media and design sectors. My journey has taken me from Armenia to Romania, where I have honed my skills in coordinating and managing diverse projects. I thrive in collaborative environments, working with specialists from various fields to bring innovative ideas to life.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed small to medium-sized IT and design projects, while also contributing as a content creator and translator. My educational background, including a Master’s Degree in International Relations, complements my practical experience, allowing me to approach challenges with a strategic mindset. I am passionate about fostering teamwork and maintaining high standards in all my endeavors.
