ACHIEVEMENTS

In the book “Theory of Mind in Horses”, devoted to the advanced cognitive functions of animals, for the first time in history, on the basis of an author’s scientific experiment, she proved the existence and functioning of the title construct in horses, which had so far been attributed only to humans. She showed that horses accurately read human intentions, communicate consciously and deliberately with them through body language, and perfectly detect and reflect their authentic mental states.

Privately: a scientific mind with an artistic soul. A devoted animal lover with Picasso’s imagination and the knack of Sherlock Holmes. Nothing is impossible for her. Fascinated by the world of nature, she loves to discover its secrets and show its beauty through the camera lens. A passionate about figure skating and film music, she will always find time for a good coffee with her friends – preferably in the bosom of nature 😉

Her MOTTO is:
“Wherever you go, go with all your Heart” (Confucius)
