My Personal Life.

Growth happens not just in school, but in the way I live my life

Shadowing in Dental Clinics

I shadowed dentists at several clinics in Russia and America, where I observed different procedures and daily operations of a dental practice. I watched how dentists worked with patients, performed treatments, and collaborated with their teams. This experience gave me exposure to both the technical side of dentistry and the importance of patient communication and care.

TURO Host - ILGO LLC

I run a car rental business on Turo, where I manage the vehicles, handle customer communication, and oversee finances. Through this, I’ve gained skills in business operations, problem-solving, and customer service.

Medical Fellowship - NSU Aim High

I participated in the NSU AIM High Medical Fellowship, where I explored medical education, learned clinical skills, and earned CPR AED Heartsaver certification.

Weekend Bike Runs

On weekends, I ride semi-professional road bikes for long distances to build endurance and discipline. I also participated in the Multi-Agency Memorial Bicycle Ride in Sunny Isles Beach alongside police officers from multiple counties.

Medical Fellowship - Tufts Mini-Dental School

I completed the Tufts Mini Dental School program, where I learned about oral anatomy, dental specialties, and practiced hands-on skills such as impressions and dental modeling.

Music and Piano

I taught myself piano through YouTube and play a few times a week. I enjoy performing in public places, like airports and malls, and once even played for seniors at a retirement home.

Fundraiser - Children with disabilities House

In Russia, I organized a fundraiser with friends and my dad’s motorcycle group, the ZBrothers, to support the Pervomayskiy Detskiy Dom (Children’s House) for children with disabilities. We donated supplies, while I personally gifted 500 toothbrushes from America, and I organized a soccer match that made the day joyful and memorable.

From music to medicine, from cycling to service, every pursuit tells a story. Together, they shape not just where you’ve been, but where you’re going.
