About YES
I am Alina Talmanova, Your Event Specialist (YES)!
Alina Talmanova
I am Russian with Tatar roots. I grew up in a beautiful, multicultural city, Kazan, I studied Psychology and English language, worked in educational, governmental and international organizations, fell in love with a Dutch man, followed my heart and 10 years ago moved to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We have 3 beautiful daughters together (Aged 8,6 & 3).
Travelling and helping people has always been my passion. Throughout my school, university and working years I have constantly been involved in the social side life in different roles – master of ceremonies, organizer, planner, coordinator, participant, representative, supervisor, and I have always experienced success and pleasure in each role.
Another passion I have are education and children. If we all could see through the eyes of a child, there would be joy, wonder and magic everywhere and our world would become a better place. That’s why I am often, and with a great pleasure, participating in projects related to education.
My career started at a governmental organization arranging the visits and programs for foreign delegations and organizing international seminars and meetings. I truly enjoyed it because I discovered that we are all children inside, doesn’t matter what you do for a living.
We all want to have fun sometimes, to play a game, to have a party and the most important – be ourselves and feel good. Magic happens when people come together, interact and inspire each other. And that is what I love to do – work in a team, inspire, create a positive atmosphere, and connect people. And that is what Your Event Specialist will do for you with care, passion and individual approach.
My life is divided between 3 beautiful cities – Kazan, Amsterdam and Barcelona. I spent more than 20 years in Kazan, more than 10 years in Amsterdam and 2 years in Barcelona.
I love all these cities very much, but Amsterdam has something unique, its multicultural and free spirit vibrates very well together with my soul, it helps me to stay inspired, get new ideas, meet new people and follow my mission to make memories all over the world. And I Live, Love and Celebrate every day! And I wish the same for you!
