My story begins in Ukraine, where I was born and raised. At 13, I witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union, an experience that reshaped everything I understood about opportunity, independence, and security. I grew up in a system where private ownership and business weren’t possible, and then watched a new world emerge in real time. That contrast stayed with me.
Today, I’m proud to live in America. A country that embraced me and opened the door to countless blessings and possibilities. That journey is the reason I care so deeply about helping others build stability through homeownership.
My path hasn’t been linear. I began in education, grounded in English linguistics and psychology, then later discovered a passion for art where I create commissioned oil pet portraits and connect with people through the arts. Real estate became a natural next step through our family’s construction business, giving me a hands-on understanding of homes that now benefits my clients.
I’m proud to support small businesses in Kitsap County and believe that owning a home or a business creates independence, stability, and opportunity.
The ongoing war in Ukraine remains deeply personal. It’s a constant reminder that having a safe, stable place to call home is never something to take for granted and it’s why the work I do matters.
