Yelena is a language enthusiast and seeker of diverse experiences. She holds two Bachelor’s degrees in Two Foreign Languages and Management, Economics, and English Studies. Currently, she’s delving into graphic design.

Through internships in the hospitality sector, she developed a strong affinity for guest care and sustainable practices.

Beyond academia, she curates content for her travel website, mynomaddiction.com, where she shares her favorite destinations and recipes from around the world.

Off-screen, she enjoys reading, hiking, immersing herself in the arts, and, of course, cooking (she even became a professional baker at the age of 18!)

Fun fact: I grew up on a farm in a remote village. One day, when my parents were away, 13-year-old me had to perform emergency surgery on a baby goose to save his life after he got his head stuck in a fence.
