Brief Biographical Sketch:
Though I was born and raised in Chicago, Russian was my first language. I still speak only Russian at home and do a lot of translating and volunteering for the Russian community. My passion for the language took me to the Russian folk choir here on campus, Golosa. In busier times, I'm a double-major in Economics and Public Policy with a minor in French Language and Literature. I also love to dance, read, travel, take photos of the city, and cook.
