Team Startefacts

Daria is the editor-in-chief of Startefacts with 6 years in journalism, including 3+ years in entertainment news. Enjoys writing a piece or two herself, when she's not too busy wading through fan theories, reviews, op-eds, and news articles.

Daria holds a Bachelor's degree in Journalism (Moscow State University), a Master's degree in Data Journalism (Higher School of Economics), and is a graduate of KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. She also studied film production at the Russian State University of Cinematography.

Daria is forever a Team Iron Man person, a Schitt's Creek quote machine, a proud Hufflepuff with a Slytherin's wit; and her outie loves karaoke, good coffee, and memes. Her movie director pick would be Pedro Almodóvar for being bold, stylish, and unapologetically human. Compromise? Tarantino—because who can resist a foot-tapping, blood-spattered fever dream? Secret shame? Every. Single. Pixar movie.
