Fleeing Lviv in 2022, she found refuge in Scotland, where university support and new friendships helped her thrive. Though guilt tugs at her for being safe while friends fight, she beams with gratitude for Edinburgh’s embrace, calling it a “fairytale city.” Now poised to launch her career with five languages and management skills, she graduates alongside Andrii Kuslii, the Ukrainian consul who helped 25,000 refugees—both embodying resilience, compassion, and hope.
