Finally finished university and now I'm off travelling Europe until December!

More about me:
Born in Russia and immigrated to Canada with my mom around the age of 6. I was lucky to travel a lot as a kid and my mom definitely seeded the spark of adventure in me.

I am a recent grad, with a double major in Theatre and Psychology. I have a passion for devised and physical theatre, screen acting, and directing. As a final university project in psychology, I researched sexual dysfunctions and so picked up a strong interest in sex therapy and research. So I hope to be able to pursue that in the future. I'm also into face painting and makeup design, and try to do lots of visual arts in my spare time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Directed 2 theatre pieces, and performed in one of them, in my final year of university. They were both made from scratch and were collective creations. Now I'm on to my next directing gig at the Edinburgh Fringe festival!
