About
Me

I’m guided by a lifelong love for the natural world and by a commitment to preserve this planet for all who call it home. Born in Russia and raised across cultures, my values—interconnectedness, resilience, and curiosity—have been shaped by both place and experience. As a first-generation immigrant from an under-resourced community, I bring a deep respect for people and ecosystems alike, and a belief that care, creativity, and collective action can move us toward a more resilient future.

​

Professionally, I work at the intersection of science, storytelling, and strategy, helping mission-driven brands turn complex challenges into clear, compelling narratives that drive action. I thrive in ambiguity, bringing order to complexity through collaboration, curiosity, and bold, grounded thinking.

​

At home, I’m rewilding my urban yard into a habitat for native plants and critters, restoring a 100-year-old fixer-upper, and coddling two very spoiled bunnies. You’ll find me and my partner roadtripping through public lands or catching live music, always looking for beauty, motion, and meaning in the wild and in the everyday.
