My story began in Saint Petersburg, Russia as an orphan. At the age of 5, I was adopted by an American family shortly before starting school in America. I excelled in my ability to learn new languages, make friends/connections, and compete in sports earning several distinguished awards, such as All-Conference Football Player, Defensive MVP, and becoming a Nationally Qualified Collegiate Powerlifter. Having been a captain for several sports and attaining many leadership roles in academics, I have a strong ability to communicate with others and help them.
Currently, I am living in Pittsburgh, PA working towards my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology as well as pursuing to further my education with a master’s degree. Over the past several years, I have become very interested in analzying and understanding how the human body works from the complex musculoskeletal system to our neurophysiology. My goal is creating a system of movement patterns (exercise) & eating habits (nutrition) to attain the highest level of physical & mental performance. Like every great scientist, there is always something "odd" about them.. and for me, its an obsession to dragons. Marvelous creatures I say, they are the most intelligent & powerful species to ever live...
