Journalist

I have more than 10 years of experience in the media – from print to radio, from television to news agencies. I write about politics and economics because these topics form the context of our present and future.

For me, journalism is not just a profession, but a way of life and thinking. It is the ability to hear and see the essence in a stream of noise, to ask uncomfortable questions where silence is convenient, and to build bridges of understanding between events and people.

I love my work for its lively dynamics, intellectual challenge, and the power to change society – in a word that carries weight.
