Summary
I am an experienced music educator, having taught students of all ages. Seeking opportunities to translate my music education experience and love of learning into learning in the business and finance environment. I am detail oriented and have a genuine love and passion for learning new skills. My experience growing up in a Russian speaking household under immigrant parents from Ukraine has shaped my understanding and appreciation of America and the importance of education and learning new skills. My mother spent countless hours teaching me piano and Russian language and literature. It is my goal to bring that discipline and structure as well as love of learning to a role in the financial industry.
