About
I was born in Novorossiysk, Russia. I went to 1st grade through college in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas.
I was always an honors student and care deeply about giving back to my community.
In my spare time, I play the cello and volunteer at Children's of Alabama.
I moved to Birmingham, Alabama in 2025. I'm so thrilled to start my law school education here.
