I double-majored in Nursing and French Studies. As a nurse of seven years, I worked in neuro and trauma critical care, and medical intensive care. I enjoy traveling in different countries, and have worked with children and students in Mexico and Uganda. I am a bit of a language nerd; growing up in a Russian-speaking Ukrainian household, studying French, German, and Latin in high school, and also learning some Spanish, Korean, Swahili, and Luganda on my own. I have been a Sunday School teacher, a French language immersion school teacher assistant, and I have also unofficially tutored students throughout the years in a variety in subjects. My favorites are English (reading and editing), and anything medical that pertains to my career. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
