I was born in Moscow, Russia and immigrated to the United States in 1992. I speak Russian and English fluently, and am also well versed in Spanish.For the last 17 years I have lived, worked, and gone to school in the Bay Area. I attended Santa Clara University, and after several years of hard work, I graduated with a degree in Business Economics.I follow the golden rule (of only doing unto others as I would have them do unto me) in my daily interactions and in my business dealings. You can count on me to respect others, and their beliefs, choices, and lifestyles. That belief led me to help organize an international non-profit organization's annual anti-hate-crime exchange program.When I'm not working, I'm usually involved in the visual arts, trying to make the world around us even more beautiful. In everything I do, I'm an optimistic realist. Though I maintain an affirmative outlook, you'll always get the honest answers. Communication is the foundation for every one of my best friendships and working relationships. Count on me to always provide an unwavering level of commitment, professionalism, and positive attitude.
