I was born, raised, and educated in Ukraine but in 2012 I became an American citizen. These multiple identities inform and enrich my understanding of the world.

I live in Milwaukee, WI with my wonderful husband, our three amazing daughters, and four goofy pets. In my spare time, I like drawing; reading engaging books and watching thought-provoking movies; drinking black tea and red wine; listening to all sorts of music; looking at old and new art; traveling the world; laughing at the witty humor of my husband, and gathering my dear friends and family in our house.
