CURRENT MISSION

I am an enthusiastic person who enjoys travelling, meeting new people and learning about different cultures. In the future, I want to work in the area of Global Health and travel with medical groups.

ABOUT ME

I love adventure!!! Six years ago I came to the USA from the Ukraine, one of the Former USSR Republics. When I was a teenager, I met some good friends that were international students at a Med School in my hometown. Later on, I have decided that I want to be an international student in an English-speaking country. I also wanted to study medicine. Since it was kind of expensive to go to Med School in the US, I have chosen Nursing. After six years of studying, I finally became a Registered Nurse with Bachelor's Degree in the field. I have just started MBA program to learn the way bussiness world operates.
I live in a relatively small town and try to travel around the US when I can. In the past, I travelled some places around Europe as an interpreter and really enjoyed seeing new places, meeting new people, and learning about various cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

I consider myself a spiritual person but not a religious one. I have certain values and try to live my life accordingly. Life is given once. I try to find my place in it and be happy in what I do. I always seek meaning in life.
