Hi, my name is Daryna Vynnychuk and I’m a second-year student in a Bachelor degree program for Communication and Human Resources. Also I am a Diploma Specialist from Law and Public Administration. I live in Prague just 2 years  and during this time I loved this city as my own.

Hometown:  Kolomyia, Ukraine

Fun fact about hometown: My hometown is a centre of Hutsul culture. Kolomyia is famous for its Pysanka Museum, that was built in 2000. There are many examples of both pysanky and other forms of decorated eggs from other Slavic countries (Belarus, the Czech Republic, Poland) and more distant lands (Romania, Sweden, United States, Canada, France, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India).

Occupation: Community Manager at Locus Workspace; Student

Field of study: Communication and Human Resources

Why did you decide to work at Locus?

One of the subjects in my university is Management. Immediately as soon as I saw that Locus offers a vacancy of Community Manager, I reacted without hesitation. What could be better than gaining practical knowledge in an international English-speaking coworking space. Besides,  I am sure that here I can meet unique personalities  and get valuable experience of communication and opinions.

What are some of your goals for this job?

In the first place, I am interested in learning English on proficient level. And I am sure that at Locus I can get real experience from conversations with native speakers.  Also, the organization of various events really interests me.

What kind of responsibilities do you have as a community manager?

My main task is to make members comfortable here. Locus is open coworking space that’s why it is very important keep nice atmosphere.

Did you already have an idea of what a coworking space was before you joined Locus?
Before, I only heard  that there are some places where nomads,  freelancers can working. But, I never could think that I would become part of this and how it is cool.

Hello, my name is Artem, I’ve been living in Prague for 9 years now, I moved from Kumertau, a small town in the south of Ural mountains. The last year I didn’t apply for university, but I studied English to get a CAE certificate, which probably was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, because my improvement was enormous and also I met a lot of cool people there. This September I will start studying Civil engineering at Czech Technical University. My hobbies are cooking (especially some healthy food), playing drums and reading classical literature.

Hometown: Kumertau, Russian federation

Fun Fact about Hometown: The name of my hometown is in Bashkir, it is a language of the ethnic group, which lives in that area. It literally means «Charcoal Mountain», because in the past there was a rich deposit of that resource.

Occupation: Student & Community Manager at Locus Workspace

Field of Study: Civil engineering

Why did you decide to study civil engineering?
It is an interesting question. My uncle works in the biggest stock company in Russia, which carries on the business of extraction, production, transport, and sale of natural gas. I talked to him a lot and then I just realised how big potential civil engineering has. Also I like to see the physical consequences of my work and this is probably the reason why I’ve chosen this field of study.

Why did you decide to work at Locus?
I found Locus accidentally. The priority of choosing a job was an English speaking community and environment, which I found here in Locus. Also there is huge space for self-improvement and this is what I am looking for in my life.

What are some of your goals for this job?
My goal is to meet a lot of different people, who you can’t meet somewhere else. Usually those people are not very extrovert and meeting them in real life seems to me impossible. And I think that Locus is a perfect place for realisation of my ideas, which also can help other people around me.

What kind of responsibilities do you have as a community manager?
My main responsibility will be taking care of our members so they can feel like a big family. I have a lot of ideas about events we can organize here and I’m looking forward to spending a lot of good time with our members.

Did you already have an idea of what a coworking space was before you joined Locus?
I didn’t even know what coworking is, so for me it was something new. But I am very surprised how cool it is.
