Hello, everybody! 

Nice to meet you, I’m Oksana Shubina. All my professional activities have to do with children and youth. I graduated from the Pedagogical university. I taught English for many years and was a Head of International department in the institution of non-formal education for children and youth.

Then I started to work in a higher education system. Since 2014 I have been working as a Head of the department for work with youth at the North-West Institute of Management, RANEPA in Saint-Petersburg. 

It’s not an easy thing to work with youth, but very exciting! Both you can exchange ideas, achieve goals, learn something new, and it always keeps both your spirit and body in good shape. 

I adore my daughter and can’t live without travelling, making nice things with my hands like post-cards, candles, cakes, watching historical movies, cooking shashlyk (barbecue) and cilantro sauce. 

My favorite quotes: 

Never think that you already know everything.

And no matter how highly you are appreciated, always have the courage to say to yourself: "I am ignorant." Ivan Pavlov, physiologist 

At least you’ve tried.

Svetlana Vityugova

Mentor of the team №9

My main message for the students of this camp “Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and develop growth mindset”.

I will never forget my fist sky diving experience. I was scared to death, but I jumped. Then I saw a blue sky, a beautiful sunset, endless ocean and freedom from fears. Sometime all it takes is to take one first step. Fear is just our perception and most of the time what we are afraid of never happens. Don’t waste your energy on worries but assess your risks. I “jumped out of the plane” many times after, when I started my business, moved to a different country and started many exciting projects. 

I was born in Nizhniy Novgorod and since 2009 have been living and working from the United Arab Emirates.

I built my corporate career in HR, worked for leading brands (IKEA, Unilever, Raiffeisen bank, Etihad Aviation Group) across diverse industries and even now people and culture are at the core of my business. I have a vast experience of working with people, managing talent and complex operations, leading transformation projects with the focus on digital implementations and changing the ways of working in the organizations. 

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Management from the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration and various certifications in change management, culture transformation, resilience, group coaching etc. In 2019 I have graduated from a Global Executive MBA at the IESE Business School. 

During the GEMBA I spent some time in the Silicon Valley where I got inspired by entrepreneurship and after completing the program, I co-founded an independent advisory firm, TBM Partners (www.tbmpartner.com). We are supporting businesses to transform, innovate and compete more effectively in a digital world. Our team of experts working at the intersection of technology, digital strategy, innovation and the human dynamics of change. 

My career is a continuous learning journey, I never stop my professional and personal development and I am passionate about helping organizations and individuals achieve success while adapting to the realities of a changing world. 

Since childhood I was very curious and adventurous. I love travelling and explore new places, cultures and arts. I believe that it is very important to achieve balance in life and stay connected to yourself. I am certified yoga instructor and helping people overcome stress and burnout, balancing body and mind through yoga practice, mindfulness, breathing and meditation.

Stephanie Kamyshanskaya

Mentor of the team №10

I am working at the South-Russian Institute of Management (branch of RANEPA). My primary job is an assistant of deputy director and also I am an English teacher in our College of Economics. I have been studying journalism for six years of my student life and in 2017 I got my Master degree in international journalism at the Southern Federal University. However then I decided to radically redirect the focus of my interest to a completely new area of studies, that’s why I entered the postgraduate program of the South-Russian Institute of Management of RANEPA and began to study political science.

As part of my postgraduate studies and dissertation research, I studied "soft power" and state cultural policy in the context of globalization and digitalization of modern society.

As to speak about my free time, I try to spend most of it with my family and friends. These moments have become especially valuable after we all had to live during the lockdown. Moreover, I like watching modern popular series and doing sports. Also, I am fond of traveling: my travel list numbers 24 countries. And I hope this is just the beginning!

It was traveling that prompted me to study languages actively from an early age. At the university we also studied Spanish and German as well as English. Furthermore while going to the university I had an excellent opportunity to spend an exchange semester in Germany, practicing English and studying English an American literature. This experience helped me not only to improve my language, but also to get to know the culture and mentality of people from other countries much better.

One more hobby that takes up most of my life today is attending quiz games. Every week my friends and I attend so-called quizzes. These activities help to develop logic and ingenuity, broaden our horizons, learn interesting facts about history, music, cinema, art, and most importantly, quizzes teach us team working.

I can’t wait to meet you at RANEPA International Summer Campus 2021!
