and this website is about me
My name is Alla Zhu. I am 30+. I was born in USSR and grew up in Ukraine. My favorite subject at school was English. I graduated university as a specialist on international information. Later I was attracted to web development. While working on one of my client’s websites I was offered to do digital marketing for them too. So, I took course on digital marketing for B2B and continue my cooperation with them up till now.
Recently my attention was caught by Webflow. As a Wordpress developer with more than 7 years of experience I have often been using page builder for web page creation. I love that Webflow, besides other useful features, offers similar page builder concept while giving flexibility in adjusting any kind of CSS style.
My native is Russian. I’m also fluent in English and Ukrainian. I can also speak Persian, a bit of French, Turkish and Spanish. In my free time I play my guitar, have fun with my lovely French Bulldog Daisy and read books. I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses so I devote part of my time to volunteer work, like conducting Bible studies and public witnessing.
I enjoy learning new and grow professionally. My strongest qualities, I believe, are diligent, responsible, loyal, attentive to details, good communication skills, open for long-term collaboration, willing to admit mistakes and work on solutions.
