Bachelor of Kinesiology
Pacific Lutheran University

Professional Interests:

Extracurricular Interests/Hobbies:
I am a Russian native and live in Port Orchard, WA. Since I enjoy rain, heat, and humidity, as well as frizzy hair, Washington is a perfect fit for me (though it would be more perfect if it were in Hawaii). I do not know much about American football (and why is it FOOTball? Nobody has been able to answer that one for me), though support any sport. Motion is lotion! I believe it is important to try new activities: I went snowboarding at the ripe age of 30 for the first time, and plan to learn paragliding, as well as car racing.
