Brief Biographical Sketch:

I came all the way from Boston, MA to study at UCLA, and I haven't had a single regret since. I'm studying Russian and Political Science as an undergraduate to gain a better understanding of the Russian region's language, culture and politics, and following graduation I plan on officially joining the United States Army and becoming a Foreign Area Officer. My interests include longboarding, listening to classic rock, hanging at the beach with friends, and reading about Russian criminal culture and affairs.
