Career guidance for teenagers · co-founder of Big Fish
Teenagers shouldn’t have to choose a career blindly
I help teenagers find their own direction, and help parents and schools talk with them about the future without pressure or guesswork.

About me
I know what it’s like to choose someone else’s path
I always wanted to dance. My parents said you can’t make a living from dancing. So I went into economics, earned two master’s degrees and built a career.
Then, at 40, I completed a one-year dance programme — to finally close that chapter.
That’s why today I don’t ask teenagers “What do you want to be?” but “What could you be?”
Since 2009 I’ve been building Big Fish with my husband Arcadie. Coach, art therapist, certified trainer. I live in Barcelona.
Big Fish camps
Where it all began
Big Fish isn’t just a camp, it’s a test drive of a future career: teens try out professions in practice. English-language camps in Ukraine and abroad.
→ 15,000+ participants since 2009
→ international camps
→ development and leadership programmes
It’s often after camp that teens first understand where they want to go.
