Hi I’m Tatia Kutaladze
My name is Tatia , not Tania. I love my name and I don’t want to be Tania.
I was born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia. I want to declare that Georgia is a country, and I’m from this country. It’s been a few years that I’ve been a resident of New York. Upon arrival to this country, my priority was to study. I already knew who I should be in the future, I’ve never doubted myself in this decision, and here I am years later still pursuing my dream of becoming a journalist. This is a decision that dates back to my childhood.
Although people were skeptical about my decision, I started working for my own purposes. When I came to this country I was not fluent in the English language at all, people were very surprised when I told them that I wanted to become a journalist!
I will be honest and say that I have chosen journalism because I don't like the routine of life. This is a profession that involves a variety of interesting areas that will make my life more interesting. For me, to be a journalist means, work 24 hours a day, endure any weather, deal with any respondent and deny negative energy directed toward you.
When I was studying in high school, I met a Georgian famous journalist who made a huge influence on me. She gave me some advice and convinced me of my abilities. I’m still grateful to her because she showed me the way to which I need to go.
Yes, I’m here and I believe that I’ll achieve my goal.
