CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born, raised and scarred in Moscow. Moved to Los Angeles after school, where I was living and working/studying/living until recently. I relocated to Europe a few years ago and lived in Spain, Italy, and now in France (Paris).

Friendly, good conversationalist, intelligent, VERY awkward with maps (gps was invented solely for me!, topography is not my forte), and I do bump into things sometimes.

I am a big animal rights supporter and I stopped eating meat almost 20 years ago. Everything that has to do with animal welfare is extremely important to me.

I like to have fun and I like to be real. I don't do small talk.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy has always been "treat others the way you want them to treat you.”
