Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• “Ultrasound diagnostics is not only about technical measurements — it’s primarily about understanding the patient in their full multidimensional state. That’s why I take a keen interest in pediatric neurology, orthopedics, and perinatal psychology. These areas are closely related to my work, especially when it comes to early detection of developmental disorders in children, injuries, or neurological symptoms that are not always immediately visible without thorough ultrasound assessment.”

Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• “Choreography and aerial gymnastics are my passion — I practiced them professionally. I also love reading; among my favorite authors are Daniel Keyes, John Fowles, and Dan Brown.”

Doctor's advice:

• “Movement is life. Find an activity that brings you joy — dancing, fitness, yoga, or simply walking. This is your resource in difficult times. Small daily joys help maintain both physical and mental well-being at a proper level.”
