It's hard to find time  and stay awake while reading but I greatly enjoy a good book.
I also love ballet, art exhibitions, and painting.
Here is me and my best friend after watching Sleeping Beauty ballet in Lincoln Center.

I have a 9 year-old son who is a handful. He is very curious and bright. He loves to read, cook, and burn things!

I was born in Russia and came to the US in 8th grade. Russian culture is a big part of my identity. Even professionally, I work in a dual language pre-K where I teach in Russian as well as English. I also work with 3 year-olds in a Russian Saturday school.
