I was born and raised in Kropyvnytskyi, a town in Central Ukraine. At the age of 16, I relocated to the United States and completed my high school education at Riverview High School in Sarasota. Pursuing my passion for accounting, I began my higher education at the State College of Florida and later earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the University of South Florida. Additionally, I am a licensed Public Notary in the state of Florida.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active through a variety of activities, including running, biking, yoga, and boxing. I volunteer at the Sarasota County Public Libraries and enjoy finding other ways to give back to the community. I’m also an avid reader and love attending local theater performances and live music shows. Beyond my hobbies, I enjoy spending quality time with my friends, family, and my cat, Kai.
