about me
My name is Maria Lupandina. I'm a language professional from Russia based in Berlin. Back in 2016, I started as a freelance English tutor in Berlin and in some months became a Berlin city coach or relocation consultant. Since then I’ve accumulated a lot of experience in getting a freelance residence permit, flat search, and interviews at Agentur für Arbeit. I've been working with awesome companies and am thankful for all this experience I gained through them. My end customers were mostly IT hires of a fashion company, a fin-tech one (online banking), and a meal-kit company.
Presently, I’m excited to be a global mobility specialist in a fast-growing Berlin start-up, Flink, consulting on visas and relocation, being in direct contact with talent acquisition, new candidates, current employees, and managers.
