ABOUT ME

I am an undergraduate student majoring in physics, with a cosmopolitan educational background spanning Ukraine, the USA, and Moldova. I have a solid foundation in both experimental and theoretical physics, along with growing experience in tutoring, research, and science communication. My goal is to build a career in science communication and education, where I can make physics accessible to anyone with curiosity and help motivate future students. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into clear explanations, and I’ve tutored both classmates and younger students in school settings. Beyond physics, I’m drawn to critical thinking, self-directed learning, and interdisciplinary interpretation of complex ideas — especially when it helps make those ideas more relatable and teachable to different audiences. I also highly value cultural exchange: studying within several academic systems and working with people from diverse backgrounds, I gain a broader perspective on how to approach problems. To me, science is more than just a method of inquiry — it’s a way to connect people and ideas. I hope to build a career grounded in clarity, curiosity, and integrity.
