My name is Larysa Melnyk, and my life’s journey began on April 25, 1987, in Ukraine. I currently reside in Varash, in the Rivne region. I have a small family, my daughter Mariia and a cat Elis. Mariia is 13 yers old. My formal professional training started in 2007 when I enrolled at the 
Dnipropetrovsk National University of Railway Transport. I dedicated myself to the field of Construction Engineering, eventually earning both a Bachelor’s and a Specialist’s degree in 2011 with an excellent grade. Immediately after graduation in August 2011, I began my career in the railway industry at the “Sarny railway track” unit (part of the Regional Branch “Lviv railway” of JSC “Ukrainian Railways”). I spent my first four years there as a Railway Technician. In 2015, I took a turn toward the financial sector when I transitioned into the role of an Accountant within the same organization.
Recognizing the need to formalize my expertise in finance, I pursued a Master’s degree in Accounting and Taxation at Zhytomyr State Technological University. And graduated in 2018.
In January 2019, I joined the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant, a branch of Energoatom, within the Department of Capital Construction. Starting as an Economist. To further refine my skills, I completed a specialized program at the Kyiv School of Economics in late 2019, qualifying as a Public Procurement Specialist. This specialized training led to my promotion in October 2021 to my current role as an Economist and Authorized person for Public Procurement of Works.  
In addition to my professional duties, I am an active member of the "Ukrainian Nuclear Society". I consider myself a proactive, self-driven, and adaptable professional.
