About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“It's time to start living the life you've imagined.” ― Henry James

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Kazakhstan, moved to Russia at 18 and then to the U.S. at 20. I've been here since then (over 12 years), was fortunate enough to attend great schools and to meet awesome people along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others

“I know that the whole point—the only point—is to
find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to
let them go.”
― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
