I started working for the PICES Secretariat in 2003. I received my first degree in Russia (B.A. in History, Moscow State University) and after moving to Canada (1992), I continued my education (M.A. in History, University of Waterloo and Computer Science, University of Victoria). I worked in the Pylos Regional Archaeological Project in Greece as a member of an international team of scientists and archaeologists, and later as a technician, translator/editor and programmer at various private sector companies. My major responsibility is the maintenance of PICES Database and Website; website design, web and database maintenance, and logistics for co-sponsored events. I also assist in production of PICES publications.
