About Maryna Fatkhulova:

I am a very responsible person. At my job I have paid great attention to details and fostering meaningful connections with others. 

Having recently relocated to the UK due to the ongoing situation in my home country, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to immerse myself in a new environment and pursue a career path that aligns with my values and aspirations. Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to mastering the English language, enabling me to communicate and connect with others.

I have a DBS check and the Certificate of Conduct from Ukraine.

I’ve recently started my voluntary role in England in Barnado’s helpline for children, youth and their families. 

I am confident that my diverse background, along with my skills and abilities, make me a strong candidate for this role.
