I grew up in the beautiful city of Odessa, Ukraine. After finishing high school,  I moved to the U.S. in pursuit of education focused on environmental issues. This has been an exciting journey that took me to Wisconsin, Illinois and now Delaware. Ukrainian and Russian are my native languages and English feels native as well. I also have basic knowledge of Spanish and German. In my free time I love hiking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I love the ocean and take every chance I have to walk on the beach, listen to the sound of crashing waves and feel the ocean breeze.
