About me
My name is Yelyzaveta, short form is Eli – you can choose whatever you like or find more comfortable. I’m a young PR and marketing specialist from Ukraine with two degrees: bachelor’s in international communications (Kyiv) and postgraduate in PR and corporate communications (Toronto).
I am optimistic and love joking because I believe laughter prolongs the life and smile helps feel all colours of the life. At the same time, I’m really hardworking and always do my best to receive perfect results – kind of perfectionist.
I’m empathic – someone’s happiness and sorrow can fill all my heart. It helps me understand people better as I have a highly developed emotional intellect.
My strong character combines kindness and self-respect that reflects in a constant readiness to help people unless they start overuse me.
I value inclusive environment and the equal right of each person to equal pay, access to all services and the opportunity to live happy life regardless of sex, colour, race or religion.
Meeting new people and learning new cultures is my favourite part of communications because there are so many unique people and fascinating cultural features to learn.
I am fluent in English, Ukrainian and Russian. I rest while writing poems, coming up with dresses designs and watching detective series.
I love the changing world of PR and its challenges because it brings so much experience and diversity to my life. I can’t wait to start working!

PORTFOLIO
Welcome Home to Toronto
Together with a student group at Centennial College, I prepared and hosted a virtual walking tour to help incoming international students learn about the area surrounding the Story Arts Centre (Centennial College campus).
Here you can find a photo from the event.
Creating aesthetics and beauty in all its forms, from long stories and projects to simple images and sentences, fills me with life and energy.
