Jelena is an experienced researcher and web content marketeer at Plaky. She is responsible for breaking down complex project management topics and presenting them in a simple and digestible manner.

With a BA and MA in English language and literature, Jelena’s biggest passion was always writing. Her career began in 2017 while she was still an undergraduate. She wrote dozens of articles and blog posts on a variety of topics, including productivity, organization, and management, until she joined our team in 2021 and made project management her primary focus.

By nature, Jelena is inquisitive and thirsty for knowledge. She is especially interested in expanding and honing her understanding of project management and the means of improving project success and is currently on her way to obtaining her first project management certificate. In her spare time, she loves reading fantasy novels and manga, and one of her biggest personal goals is to learn to draw well.

In an effort to maintain her mental health and happiness, she refrains from using social media unless necessary and wholeheartedly supports remote work.
