My Story
I am a Ukrainian medical professional who served my community in Lyman for many years as a dedicated and caring doctor. Drawing on decades of clinical expertise and lived experience as a refugee, I want to help displaced Ukranians navigate the same complex challenges as I face; through mentoring, coaching, mediation, and interpretation. I wish to support the health, wellbeing, and confidence — of the Ukranian UK refugee community both now and into an uncertain future
