Olga graduated from Chelyabinsk Academy of Art and Culture with a degree in librarianship in 1995 and then entered the State Linguistic University as she wanted to study English. Olga graduated from the University in 2002 with a degree in applied linguistics and translation. having two professions which became very useful in her current job as an American center coordinator and American alumni assistant. Olga started to work at the AC in 2003 and is very glad to be a part of great team of AC coordinators. Olga likes her job because she enjoys working with people, organizing different events for those people who want to master their English and to learn more about American culture. American Center collaborates with lots of native speakers and Olga's role sometimes is more than just an intermediate between two cultures, but she is glad to help to eliminate cultural and language barriers and allow people from all around the world to communicate and find out more about each other. In 2009 she took part in the International Leadership Program (IVLP) “Library Today”. The program helped a lot in Olga's job as she was not only in love with America and American people but also got lots of ideas for organizing future events and activities at the AC.
