She graduated from the Faculty of Bioecology at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (Immanuel Kant State University, 2008), specialty – bioecologist. In 2014, she defended her PhD dissertation on "Migrations of the Northern Polar Front and the North Atlantic Current over the past 190,000 years based on the study of planktonic foraminifera" in specialty 25.00.28 – Oceanology (IO RAS, Moscow). Her supervisor was N.P. Lukashina, Doctor of Geological and Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, and Leading Researcher at the Geoecology Laboratory of the Atlantic Branch of the IO RAS.
Scientific interests: marine geology, paleoceanology and biostratigraphy, paleoclimatology.
