Welcome!
I come from a family of remediators- my parents met at the Chernobyl site when working on it's confinement shelter. I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine and moved to Northern Virginia in 2004, where I grew up. I was raised with the values of being conscientious of every decision I make, especially when it comes to the planet. This made my passion and love for the environment grow from a very young age.
The picture to the right is of me and my brother boating on the Potomac river :)

I graduated from James Madison University in 2022 with a major in Integrated Science and Technology and minors in Geographic Science and Environmental Information Systems. My undergraduate research consisted of stream restoration through various monitoring systems, including remote.
I'm currently a M.S. Student in the Freshwater and Marine Science (FMS) Program at University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Dr. Hilary Dugan. The FMS program is part of the Center of Limnology. My research is focused on understanding salt pollution interactions of lakes around Madison. I'm aiming to create a chloride reduction plan for Lake Wingra through science communication.
