In 2020, she received her master's degree from the Ukrainian Catholic University, and in 2019-2022 she worked at the Territory of Terror Memorial Museum of Totalitarian Regimes in Lviv.
In 2022, she curated the exhibition "Voices: A Mosaic of Ukrainian Jewish life" at the Jewish Museum Augsburg, Swabia. In 2024-2025, she coordinated exhibitions about the forced labor of Ukrainians in Germany for the NGO "After Silence".
She is currently working on her dissertation on the deportations of Ukrainians in the Soviet Union in 1944-1953. The aim is to analyze oral testimonies about deportations from oral history archives in Ukraine, Poland, Latvia, and Canada and to understand how narratives about the victims of Soviet repression have changed and continue to change amid the tumultuous events of Ukrainian history from the Soviet Union to Russia's current aggressive war against Ukraine.
During her residency at the Centre for Urban History, she will study archives of periodicals from the 1940s-1950s, as well as memoirs.
