Live on the outskirts of Northern Minnesota with my husband, two kids, and two cats. Work with foreign students teaching ELL. Originally from Russia with strong ties to Argentina.

I would call myself a life-long learner and explorer: love getting to know new people, hike new trails, bike through new towns, taste local food, and see a place through the eyes of the local people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One cool thing I did with friends was to outfit a tree house in the forest and have a regular breakfast there before heading to school :) It was surreal! The closest I got to living like an avatar!
