I was born and raised in Ukraine but came to Texas as soon as I could! As a child and a teenager, I was very active and participated in every event and extracurricular I could get my hands on. I was a competitive pianist until 15, then I started learning kung-fu and later fell in love with ballroom dancing and started to compete in the amateur category. I have two degrees from Ukraine (music and Chinese language) and one from the US. I moved to the country at 21 and found my calling for HR by accident a few years later. I have a 9-year-old daughter who thinks that the Ukrainian language is our superpower.
