Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, she graduated with honors with a degree in Social Studies, Studio Art, and Film from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. Her work experience includes museums, art education, art and film production, marketing, and publishing.

She worked at various art institutions, including Harvard Art Museums, Franklin Furnace, Pushkinsky State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow Museum, and Multimedia Art Museum Moscow. She led fundraising efforts, spearheaded social media marketing campaigns, assisted theater and film production, helped to advance museum youth programs, and she is currently working in social media marketing as a content creator.

During her time at art institutions, she advanced her skills in public engagement, image-building, communication etiquette, community outreach, and art writing. As a publisher, she managed long-term projects, edited, fact-checked, reviewed the final product, crisis managed, and managed the financial operations of the publication. On top of that, her studies helped her to develop strong research skills, working with archives, interviews, quantitative data, and ethnographic materials. She wrote her senior thesis dissertation on the Indigenous Decolonial Organizing in Contemporary Russia.

She hopes to apply these skills to assist art in serving social justice. She also explores this role of art practically by making art herself. 

As an artist, she is focused on the individual’s formation being affected by state violence and borders, migration, and biopower, and the individual’s response and resistance to it. She has exhibited my work at the Triumph Gallery in Moscow and performed at the Moscow Manege and the Multimedia Art Museum Moscow.

She is open to all opportunities and will gladly find a way to apply her skills in any creative sphere. She is especially interested in serving in the curatorial sphere (particularly in modern and contemporary art), art mediation and education practices, publishing, and production of film and performance. 

She is hoping to prove herself helpful by promoting art as accessible, yet not dispensible, and assisting the relationship between the creatives, institutions, and audiences.
