Summary:

I moved to the United States when I was sixteen years old. After growing up in Kazakhstan and Estonia, I experienced a major culture shock coming to America. The pressures many immigrants feel were all too real. 

As a child, I loved stories and traveling, yet in America I followed a traditional career path. I went to college, joined the military, and worked my way up through graduate school, eventually landing prestigious jobs at major corporations.

In corporate however, I often felt like I was living someone else’s life, not my own. So I decided to make a drastic change.

Today, I’m a published, award-winning travel photographer and writer a mission to help others achieve their creative dreams as well.

The Genius Womxn podcast was created because I believe that we all have voices that matter and that need to be shared with the world. In this episode, I introduce Genius Womxn, tell a story of the journey that led me to some remarkable assignments in Rwanda and Mongolia, and show you how you too can start building a rich, meaningful, beautiful creative life.
