Since February 2014, she worked as a principal of a secondary school in the Simferopol district, and then became the Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Crimea.

According to the prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, in April 2022, the Ukrainian citizen voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the occupation authorities and took the position of "Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Crimea," where she has been working until now.

In this position, the "official" participates in numerous pro-Russian events for Crimean schoolchildren and youth, and directly implements the aggressor state's policy in the field of education on the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula.

The occupying Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Crimea was found guilty of collaboration by the public prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. She was sentenced in absentia to 8 years in prison, with disqualification to hold positions in government, institutions, enterprises and organizations for 10 years, and confiscation of property.

Earlier, under public prosecution, the autonomy's prosecutor's office found guilty of treason a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the AR of Crimea of the VI convocation who supported the decision to hold an "all-Crimean referendum". The man was sentenced to 13 years in prison. The prosecutor's office also noted that the convict is under international sanctions of the EU, the USA, the UK, Australia, Japan, etc.

Earlier, prosecutors proved in court that after the occupation of the Crimean peninsula, two former judges of the Sudak and Kerch city courts of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea betrayed their oath of allegiance to the people of Ukraine and joined the enemy. The judge found them guilty of treason in absentia and sentenced them to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
