## About Me

I am a friendly, communicative, adaptive, and result-driven professional with a passion for learning and continuous improvement. I excel at both planning and execution, adapting and improvising on the fly as needed to meet project goals effectively. Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented comprehensive knowledge bases and documentation standards that have significantly improved operational efficiency.

In my recent role at Lyft as a Sr. Policy & Training Lead, I led initiatives that reduced training time by 50% and improved project efficiency. I successfully onboarded numerous team members and vendors during organizational restructuring, building high-performing teams. I am proactive in identifying and mitigating potential legal risks, particularly related to external data usage.

Previously, I provided critical policy support for cross-functional initiatives, enhancing process consistency and data quality. I acted as a liaison between technical and operational teams to streamline communication and drive tooling upgrades. I also implemented automated solutions that reduced manual data processing work significantly.

My earlier experience includes managing data pipelines, maintaining distributor relationships, negotiating contracts, and leading brand refresh projects that opened new revenue streams. I have also managed technical service teams, overseeing project negotiation, planning, and execution.

I am skilled in project, process, documentation, and knowledge management, with technical expertise in Python, SQL, and Mode. I am fluent in English, Russian, and can communicate in Italian, and I am committed to leveraging my skills to contribute to organizational success.
