I was born in Odessa, Ukraine. I have lived in the United States for eight years. Currently, I am a graduate student at Iowa State University majoring in HCI. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, theater, and cooking, but not simultaneously. My son Matthew is 7 years old. In his spare time, he likes to read, write, type, do math, learn the world map, and play "Civilization," often simultaneously.

Feel free to explore my site! No, really.
