Bios

My name is Dmytro. I am 34 years old and was born and lived in Ukraine all my life. I have a wife, her name is Mariia and I also have a 6-year old son named Max.

I have a master’s degree in economics but I have never worked as an economist. Since I was 18 years old I have had a lot of jobs. I was a night shift fuel tanker at the gas station, insurance agent, auto damage valuer. In 2014, I faced war for the first time in my life and moved from my native city to the capital of Ukraine. That was the first time when I started to build my life from the bottom and circumstances built up such a way that I started to work in medical sales. First, I promoted and sold drugs and then I sold heavy medical equipment like MRI, x-ray machines, computer tomography, ultrasound systems, etc.

In 2022 war came to my home again and our family decided to leave the country and build our life in a more safe and stable country. So for now we have been living in Canada for 2 years and trying to create our happy future here step-by-step. I am working as a long haul truck driver now, my wife works at a kindergarten school and Max went to school for the first time this year. All my life I have had an active life style and mindset. My main hobby is sports. Because of sports I work on developing myself and trying to get the best results in whatever I do.

Now I want to improve my English to increase the quality of my family's life here, to get a better job and make new friends.
