Academic areas of interest

I’m a big math enthusiast, and I’m excited to dive deeper into its applications here at Penn. I also enjoy creative writing, economics, and computer science.

Activities & Hobbies

For over 15 years, dance has been my escape. I grew up with the DCF dance team in Uzhhorod, where I danced in styles like contemporary, jazz, lyrical, ballroom, hip-hop, and folk and competed at various festivals internationally. Later, at Phillips Academy in MA, I joined a jazz team and choreographed a piece for the modern ballet group on campus. At Penn, you can find me performing with Arts House Dance Company!

Future Plans

I hope to enhance my math knowledge and branch out in some other areas of the subject with a mission of later on using the acquired knowledge back in Ukraine and contributing to the effort of rebuilding the post-war country.
