About

I am a Russian immigrant, who came to the USA in 2008 with my American husband. Although my English skills were limited, my desire to help people and to achieve the American Dream were and remain boundless. I am a more mature student with a college-age daughter, and work hard to do well in school, to be a good wife and mother, and to be a good employee for Banana Republic. Upon graduating in 2017, I hope to work as a Registered Nurse, and to help people.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Outside the classroom

I am a wife, a mother, an employee, and a full-time student! During school my concentration is on doing the best I can with my studies, as well as trying to take care of my family, and help put food on our table with my almost full-time job with Banana Republic. On the rare occasions I have free-time I enjoy crafty type activities such as sewing, cross-stitching, painting, and making things with my hands. I love traveling, especially to the beach!
