Meet Kira - our member of the month in July!

Introduction round: Who are you and where are you from?
I am Kira. I was born in Russia in the city of Ufa in the Urals. Since I attended Russian school, I can speak and write Russian fluently. I also speak Russian with my son Nikita (6) and my husband is also learning.
Currently I have been living in Germany for almost 28 years. I studied media and communication sciences at the University of Passau with a focus on social and consumer psychology and then did my MBA studies in Frankfurt am Main until I moved to Berlin. In 2012.

What made you come to Berlin?
I live in Berlin since 2012. I love the diversity and the vividness of the city. There are always things to discover. I love the cultural as well as the culinary highlights of the city. If you want freedom to express yourself in whatever way, you’ll find that - no-one here will judge you for it. I also like Berlin as it is future-oriented and a great place for innovation.

What exactly do you do? What's in the pipeline for the near future?
I am currently working as a user experience researcher and digital product manager/product owner (freelancer) for the BVG website. From October this year I plan to work mainly as a product owner or product manager in a permanent or freelancing position. Currently, I am looking for interesting projects and positions.

Since when do you cowork at Office Club Berlin Prenzlauer Berg?
Almost 2 years, I think. I live nearby.

What is the benefit of using a coworking space for you?
I can work through many things and have my peace here. The service is great, the Office Club team is always there for me and helps me very quickly with my requests. Since I live on Stargarder Straße, the location of the coworking space is also crucial for me as I can get here quickly and enjoy the cool and warm drinks.

Which questions / problems could you help your coworking neighbour with?
First, I am perfect partner for a business lunch or lunch break.
