🌿 Unpacking The Alchemy of Light: How I Became a Bioplastics Engineer & Found My Soul's Purpose 🌿

Long ago, I was just a girl next door—sunny, messy hair, and ever-curious about the world. 🌞 I spent my days chasing butterflies in my grandmother's garden, unaware that one day I would be chasing something far more ephemeral: a spiritual awakening that would change my life.

It began with a dream. A vivid, technicolor dream of the earth, crying—not tears, but rivers of plastic. I woke up gasping, with my heart pounding like a drum. That night, the universe spoke to me: Katerina, you were born to heal, not just hearts… but the planet. ✨

Now we're several sleepless PhD nights, algae-based polymer stained lab coats (yes, that's a thing 💅), and one eureka moment loud enough to shake my bones later: bioplastics are not just science—they're sacred. Every biodegradable fork I create is a prayer. Every sustainable packaging solution is a love letter to Mother Earth. 🌎💌

But the twist is, my journey is not just about saving the world. It is about saving myself. In the quiet hum of the lab, I discovered meditation. In the molecular intricacies of cellulose, I found God. (Or God found me? Let’s not split atoms here. ⚛️)

Now, I'm Katerina Zelenko: part bioplastics engineer, part spiritual alchemist; fully that girl who will hug you while lecturing about carbon footprints. I have made it my mission to show you that sustainability is not sacrifice; it is soul work. And darling? Your soul is invited. 🔮

P.S. Do you ever feel the pull between logic and magic, science and spirit… welcome home. We have been waiting for you. 💫
