Gratuated in the Moscow State Institute for International Relations as journalist in 1982 I worked in the field of international cultural relations for almost 30 years. Since 2000 I am organising wine tastings, gala dinners and wine competitions. In 2013 I got my WSET diploma (DipWSET) and since 2011 I has been teaching at Borkollégium in Budapest, the first wine school in the Hungarian capital. I hold the title of WSET Certified Educator (wines and spirits). I am the consultant of the wine contest of the Hungarian Paliament.
