A little bit about me...

- I was born in Sochi, Russia. I was adopted when I was 18 months old by a single mother. I also had an older brother, who unfortunately passed away.

- I have lived in the Kalamazoo/Portage area my entire life. But my dream for many years has been to move to California.

- I work at a daycare during the day. When I come home I am an auntie to my  beautiful three year old nephew.

- I'm a Western Michigan University Secondary Education student, majoring in English and minoring in History.

- Teaching has been my dream since I was in first grade and I can't wait to start this journey!
