I am a creative and curious mind. I developed my passion for history and philosophy at a young age and it never left. Even though I studied microbiology at AUT (Auckland University of Technology), these topics always seized my mind and I always liked meaningful conversations.
Music was also a theme which kept my attention very early in life and I learned to play drums. I still enjoy playing and you can still see me performing.
After many years in the laboratory, I decided to change my career to digital art. I studied at the Media Design School in Auckland and I worked as a digital creative designer. After a few projects, I realized that I needed more contact with people.
So, I finally followed my true passion which was travelling, meeting new people and working in art. So, I graduated from the Trinity Program as an English teacher.
Finally, I found out that I can’t simply decide to do one thing in life. Saturnin provides me with a suitable environment where I can follow all my passions even though they seem to be incompatible or too wide-ranged. I enjoy working on the Saturnin projects and I still have some capacity to do other activities in my private life.
I provide English lessons to my students who appreciate conversations about deep topics and also like to add some humour which is essential in the process of learning language.
I enjoy working with language and reading, so I provide proofreading services as well. I am used to helping scientists with their publications. You can see my work in this article as an example.

My preferred topics are history, philosophy, biology, physics and medicine
My passion for music has also never faded so I play with bands but I also teach drums and rhythm.
I participate in educational programs like the Panoramic Method video course about music therapy. I performed the whole chapter about rhythm, percussion and drums.
You can find my videos here: https://course.healingsounds.art/129-2/
I never gave up my designing and painting. I created the graphic elements for the project Realm of Healing Sounds, I collected the footage from both festivals, and I edited the video recordings which we made at both festivals.
I provide services as a graphic designer and I do video editing and work with photography. I can design a logo or the whole graphic set for your company.
There are examples of my photos and designs

I really enjoy working with my voice. So, apart from teaching I also provide voiceover services.
You can hear my work in the book Hravá Angličtina which is an English textbook for Czech children’s audio tape with the native speakers.
