Inna Petrova

Assistant

I really enjoy my role in this project. It feels like being a detective or an investigator who has to chain facts, ideas in a logical path. I do not deal with well-known facts, my aim is to reveal something hidden form your eyes. It involves extensive research, logical reasoning and brainstorming sessions. Ultimately it is a very rewarding experience. So, I am Lara Croft in front of a monitor, but do not disturb the peace of tombs.
