CURRENT MISSION

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

ABOUT ME

I'm a student excited to finish up my last year of school and finally getting to take on the world! I was born in Ukraine but grew up in New Jersey and now live in the Big Apple. I adore traveling and am still waiting on winning the lottery so I can go wherever I want :)

PHILOSOPHY

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love. For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." -Nelson Mandela

I greatly value forgiveness, hard work, and passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering at an HIV orphanage in Guatemala really opened my eyes. It not only showed me how bad living conditions could be but also how far a little bit of help can go. It really restored my faith in humanity and reminded me that we are all here to help each other out and get the most we can from life.
