So, Who Am I?
I know this is a professional portfolio, but there’s much more to me than my academic and work experience.
I’m naturally humorous, personable, and well-traveled, and I bring that perspective into everything I do.
I’m a first-generation Ukranian American, which has shaped how I see the world and how I communicate with others. I speak Russian and Spanish, with some Ukrainian mixed in, and I’ve always valued cultural fluency as much as professional skill.
I graduated from UC Davis and spent most of my time in the Bay Area (California), but I’m currently based in New York City!
On this site, you’ll find a mix of projects that reflect my interests and experiences, from academic work and freelance projects to creative side ventures like my food blog, where I explore storytelling through culture, community, and everyday moments. Together, these pieces show not just what I’ve done, but how I think, experiment, and continue to grow.
