Career goal:
Master’s degree in international relations/international business.  My dream job would be a diplomat, where I could use my abilities of fluently speaking four languages.  Currently, I am fluent in Russian, Ukrainian, and English, but also I am currently studying Spanish. 

Education background (graduated or currently studying):
This spring graduated from a junior college with a major in business administration and I got accepted to a four year university as a junior.

What you like best about the 49ers: 
The greatest things about the 49ers organization as whole are their traditions and their fans.  By becoming a part of an organization that works closely with the 49ers, feels like I became not just a part of a group, but I gained something more.  The fan base, not just in the Bay Area, but all over California is incredible. 

Challenge that you have overcome: 
The greatest challenge that I had to overcome was the transition when I moved here in March of 2004.  Back at home, I studied English for about four years, but when I came here, I realized that the proper British English I had learned, was so different than the slang people use here in everyday life, especially teenagers. 

Guilty pleasures: 
Banana ice-cream, peanut M&Ms, and my signature banana pancakes.  I also sometimes love to have a cup of coffee after dinner with a piece Tiramisu cake.

Hobbies (outside of dance):
One of my hobbies outside of dance is snowboarding.  My other hobbies are wakeboarding and tubing. 

Most adventurous thing you have done:
I think the most adventurous thing that I have done was a three hour long hike to the Vernal Fall in Yosemite National Park. 

Most proud of: 
I am definitely most proud of my mother.  She is my hero. 

Dance/performance experience:
I started ballroom dancing when I was about four-years-old.  I have competed in many national championships and performed at a world famous Ballroom Dance Theater directed by Vadim Elizarov in Sevastopol. 

Best word that describes you:
The best word that describes me would be devoted.  I am very passionate about everything I do and I put my all in it. 

I wish I could: 
I wish I could visit every country on this planet.  I think the more places we visit; the more it makes us appreciate things that we have.   

Song do you most enjoy dancing to: 
“Pour some sugar on me” by Def Leppard.

Something you like to do each day: 
I love having a cup of hot tea with my mom.
