About You
What would people be surprised to learn about you?
Most people are surprised to learn I was born in Kharkiv Ukraine and adopted on my first birthday by my parents.
Who is your favorite musician/band/performer and why?
I have so many favorites, but at this moment I have been really rocking out to the band AJR. I love the energy, danceability, and message that their songs share.
About Your Experience
What is/was your favorite meal in the dining hall?
I always looked forward to cheeseburger quesadilla night and since graduating, have made it at home a few times to relive the "good ol’ days" in the dining hall.
What advice would you give to a current student?
Do not be afraid to ask the questions you have in class. Nine times out of ten you are not the only person in the room with that question.
About Lighting the Way
Why is it important for you to serve/volunteer?
I would not have been able to call Moravian home without the help of our supporters, so I was excited and honored to join this subcommittee to help allow for many more students to be able to call Moravian home for years to come.
What are you most excited to see Lighting the Way make possible for Moravian?
I am excited to see Lighting the Way allow for more students to find new opportunities to grow academically here at Moravian in preparation of their lives beyond the Greyhound Pack.
