Biography

My name is Nataliia Perekhryst, and I am a passionate educator with over ten years of experience teaching computer science and English. Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning in my students. I hold two higher pedagogical degrees in Physics and Computer Science and English Language and Literature. As a Category I teacher with the title of Senior Teacher, I continuously refine my teaching methods to adapt to the evolving needs of modern education. One of my key interests is integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. I actively use AI-powered tools to personalise learning experiences, making education more engaging and accessible. By incorporating AI-based platforms and digital innovations, I equip my students with essential skills for the future, preparing them for the demands of the digital world. In addition to teaching, I am a Google Certified Specialist in Digital Marketing & E-commerce, which enables me to stay ahead in the ever-changing digital landscape. I also serve as an Education Quality Expert in Institutional Audit and Internal Quality Assurance, ensuring that educational institutions uphold the highest standards. My training in institutional audits for secondary education has given me valuable insights into improving education systems at a national level. I am the author of “SmartSort: AI in STEM Challenge,” a project featured on Science on Stage Europe, which aims to bridge the gap between AI and STEM education. Additionally, I have developed my own educational website, offering interactive learning resources for both students and teachers. Among my most significant achievements, I am proud to be the winner of EU Code Week and have been selected as an EU Code Week Ambassador for 2025. These opportunities have allowed me to expand my professional network and contribute to the global education community. As a volunteer with the Universal Youth Alliance, I hope to share my expertise, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and work on initiatives that empower young people through education and technology. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to this inspiring mission and make a lasting impact on global education.
