I was born in Tashkent, in 1991. I moved to the U.S. when I was 6 years old, and I have been living in Brooklyn, N.Y. ever since.

I am currently a junior at Harvard College. I am majoring in philosophy and minoring in government.

In the summertime, I like to study abroad. I have participated in programs in Italy, Russia and Germany.

During my free time, I like to bake, read Jane Austen novels and watch old Soviet movies.
