I was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in Russia and I've lived here all my life.

I graduated from Leningrad Electrical Institute of the Communications (now it is the St-Petersburg State University of Telecommunications).
Right after graduating I was hired by All-Union Research Institute of Radio Equipment and worked in the Department of Secondary Radar Equipment as a Senior Engineer. I took a part in the development and the flying tests of the Transponders for the Civil Aviation.

In 1998 I took some advanced retraining in management at the International Institute "Woman and Management".
Since 1999 I have worked in St. Petersburg State University.

Now I am the Leading Programmer in the Laboratory for Information Systems of St. Petersburg State University. One of the main directions of activity of the Interdisciplinary Center to carry out interdisciplinary scientific research and to create informational resources in the domain of science, education and local government on the basis of up-to-day informational technologies.

I collaborate with the E-Development Partnership in the North-West of Russia.

I develop and design websites and portals for the Municipalities of Saint Petersburg, for the departments of Saint Petersburg State University, for the scientific projects and non-commercial organisation.. You can see it in section "Web-design" - http://shelomova.spb.ru/win/eweb.htm.

I maintain all websites I developed. Sometimes I write articles, edit texts and take photo reports for them.

As the Assistant Deputy in the Municipality of District n. 8 St. Petersburg from the 17th of August till the 3rd of September 2002 I with the group of representatives of St. Petersburg Municipalities visited the Municipalities and Organizations in Finland and Denmark. I publish my brief report about this useful study visit in section "My Notes".

My hobbies include reading (especially classic and historical novels, sometimes detective), taking photographs and making trips.
My husband and I like to spend free time in the nature to refresh for daily routine.
We like to hike in forest, to angle, to pick berries and mushrooms.
During our trips I take a lot of pictures (usually of landscape).
