🎯 What she brings to the team:

Anna is a big thinker with boots-on-the-ground results. As a former Member of Parliament and Head of the Subcommittee on Tourism, she’s not only talked policy — she’s written it. She knows how to turn national tourism strategy into real, measurable progress.

She’s the architect behind Ukraine’s “Azov Destination Heritage Tourism” vision and a key expert on international donor projects. Her current research work at Florida State University focuses on economic and humanitarian recovery in Eastern Europe — tourism with a purpose.

🚀 Projects she’s proud of:

• Co-creating the Ukrainian Tourism Development Roadmap national initiative

• Leading regional strategies like Azov Destination Management (USAID)

• Driving tourism development policies as a former MP of Ukraine

• Supporting resilient tourism planning in conflict-affected areas

💡 Why we love working with her:

Anna brings brains, heart, and political savvy to everything she does. She’s strategic and inspiring, but also deeply practical — whether she’s drafting policy or leading a community workshop. She doesn’t just see the future of tourism; she helps build it.
