Since I was a child I dreamed of becoming a lawyer, so moving from Ukraine to Spain when I was 16 years old and having to confront both the cultural and the language changes has not been an impediment to me graduating in Law at the University of Alicante and becoming a practicing lawyer in Spain and a member of the Alicante Bar Association.

– I am a proactive person: even before starting my studies at the University of Alicante, I had already begun to introduce myself into the world of work, but always with the vision of working as a lawyer in the future.

– I involve myself to the full in everything I do: since I joined the working world I have tried to make a difference by providing more than what is usual or expected of me. Perhaps due to such dedication during my internship at PwC Alicante, I was chosen to go on to study the PwC Tax & Legal Master’s Degree at ESADE Business & Law School in Barcelona.

Having studied the master’s degree and simultaneously worked at PwC’s office in Barcelona, I consider myself fortunate to be able to apply the knowledge gained in the fields of real estate, civil, contractual, criminal-economic, consumer and tax law.

– I never stop learning: as a lawyer I have taken on subjects as diverse as banking (mass proceedings: compliance with swap contracts, foreclosures, etc.), consumer and real estate law, among others. Although I have not ceased to work in the aforementioned areas, I have decided to specialize in economic criminal law and have begun my doctoral studies at the Doctorate School of the University of Alicante. In addition to specializing in a field I like, I also try to make my own small contribution to legal research.
