Author of articles, test drives and reviews

Author and photographer in automotive media since 2009. She started working for the Transmission project, where she was a photographer and author. After the project was closed, she got a job as a managing editor at Avtosvit magazine, then as an editor of the Auto section at TSN.ua, and then as an editor at AutoNews.ua. Over 15 years of working with cars, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge, and I fell in love with this field completely and can’t imagine myself without a car.

But journalism didn’t seem enough for me, and in 2020 I started working as a presenter on the Oiler car service YouTube channel, where I talked about the culture of car care. Later, I started developing my own channel, where I talk about new cars, service, and interesting new products.

For me, cars are not just technology, they are art, and each car has its own character and peculiarities. I always get to know any car as if it were a person. It can tell you a lot about itself if you listen to it.
