Some facts about myself
This post is related to everybody who wants to learn more about me, my education and my working exprerience.
Well, my name is Maria Bystrova and I was born in the city of Yekaterinburg, on the 1st of February, 1986. First I was studying at school with advanced study of German. Then I got my lucky chance to study for 3 years at the lyceum with the humanities bias. There I got a proper training in Russian, Literature and English. After studying for 5 years as a student of the phylosophy department of Ural State University, I had successfully graduated. University gave me foundations of systematic thinking, information processing, ability to go deep into the heart of the matter, as well as the basics of Spanish language. My degree work was dedicated to the social and communicative aspects of the architecture form. That’s where my first interest to the sustainable solutions comes from.
Than there was surely a time for writing degree works to order. At the same time I was learning the basic principles of the web-site’s work and the foundations of search engines optimisation. I was working for some time as a privat tutor in German and became a communication experience in German, working with the tourists.
I also was working as a copywriter and PR-manager at CSC multimedia group. It was a period of time when I became experience in writing promo texts, scenarios and press-releases, learned basics of project management, visited some educational and professional events, including business-coaching and events by Russian Public Relations Association.
From the July, 2008 I’m working as a freelancer. I’m constantly self-educating and I’m sure it is the best way to improve your professional skills — of course, when you have a good basis of working habits and knowledges. In less than two years I have been working in different areas, assimilated different genres, from essay and reviews to the educational videocourses and synopsis for a TV-show. I have been writing texts for the audio- and video promotion, concerned myself with naming, slogans, promo-concepts and brand legends. I made myself familiar with lots of new and complicated subjects, such as venture investment and technoenterpreneurship. My articles have been published in business editions (“Expert”, “Vedomosti”), magazines (“Vogue Knitting”, “Lady Vita”) and other editions. Of course, it is only the start. But I hope it is a good start.
Since the autumn 2009 I’m writing my own blog and studying the subject of green marketing. I’m writing about the new trends of world marketing and about the “green wave”, which is coming around the world. There are no serious sources about green marketing in Russian, that’s why I read books and articles in English. I’m also communicating with specialists from other countries. My biggest interest consists in those cases, when eco-solutions become really profitable and popular. Seems interesting? Welcome to my blog.
Actually, I also have a thousand of different hobbys. But let me tell you about it another time.
