About Anna

An ambitious, goal-oriented individual. A loving wife and caring mother.

My Mission Statement

I’m currently based in Cyprus and working on promoting the Russian language, Russian culture and the Russian way of thinking within my project Russian Gymnasium Limassol. That’s number one. Number two is our family charity initiative Silk Rider with its main goal being fundraising for UNICEF and promoting adventure touring in Cyprus and beyond.

My Motivation

I have always been a curious, ambitious and motivated girl. At the age of 19 I went on my first independent trip to another part of the world, at the age of 22 I had trips abroad planned for every 2 weeks, at the age of 24 I graduated as a Master of Science in Business with the amount of credits equal to a Doctor’s Degree, at the age of 29 here I am with my 2 boys, a school with 50 children, passion for motorcycling and many-many more things to balance.

What motivates me every day? My family, my team, travelling and endless passion for self-development.

Achievements, projects, and milestones over time

History

2010 – USA

My life and way of thinking changed for good after a semester abroad in the USA at age 19. I came back to Russia and was never the same person again.

2012 – Bachelor’s Degree

I earned my first qualification as a Bachelor in International Relations, specialising in US and Canada.

2013 – Forums

Networking and meeting of ministers and presidents at international forums, such as G20, APEC, APPF, and Baltic Forum, made me an ambitious girl who knows what she is striving for.

2014 – France

During my Erasmus exchange in France I acquired communication abilities that I never had before. I spoke 4 languages freely on a daily-basis and became a guru in marketing strategies.

2015 – Master’s Degree

After spending approximately 1.5 years in Finland I finally got what I was dreaming about – a Master’s Degree in Business.

2016 – Launch of self-branding in Cyprus

This is the year I took Cyprus to heart and launched my personal brand to promote my ideas on the island and abroad.

Founded a blog about Cyprus to create more buzz about this small island in the Mediterranean. UPD: Project was closed 1 year after and has not been yet restarted.

Expanded the global franchise of Russian Gymnasium to Limassol, Cyprus. Anna has been CEO ever since.
