I have six years of experience in the non-profit sector in Russia and abroad. I conducted various social research studies on HIV/Aids issues and protection of children's rights. In 2010, I interned with an Italian NGO where I provided psychological expertise and psychotherapy for children - victims of sexual exploitation. The Centre for German and European Studies published my comparative analysis, which details the formation of social policy against commercial sexual exploitation in Russia and Italy. My further experience of working in the gaming industry has opened new perspectives in my further career, such as social research and development of Internet and Online Safety tools for children. In 2011, I was honored to be selected by the worldwide network of non-profit leaders to serve at the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children in Washington, DC during which the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children selected me to take individual trainings in forensic imaging department.
