Accomplishments
Over the last few years, I’ve focused on building valuable skills in finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, risk management, and personal development. At 16, I passed multiple $50k prop firm challenges and earned several payouts trading Nasdaq futures using a strategy I developed and refined myself.
I co-founded Vizogen, where I worked on early planning, product direction, and shaping the core idea of the project. Being involved from the start pushed me to think more critically and solve problems with a practical mindset.
At school, I’ve taken on leadership roles through student council and by participating in an ongoing research project. These experiences strengthened my ability to communicate, organize, and collaborate with people who approach challenges differently than I do.
My athletic background includes MMA, swimming, weightlifting, and calisthenics. Training consistently in these sports has taught me commitment, resilience, and how to stay disciplined regardless of motivation.
One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was volunteering with the Red Cross in Armenia for two months. I supported community and humanitarian efforts, which gave me a deeper understanding of responsibility and what it means to help people in difficult situations.
I’ve also invested heavily in improving my communication and presentation skills, because I wanted to refine strengths I already had. I completed a course focused on reading facial expressions and body language, which helped me understand people more quickly and connect with them more naturally. I’m also in the middle of a larger public speaking program with two parts. I’ve already graduated the first part, which covered public presentation structure and effective breathing techniques. The second part focuses on advanced stage presence, movement, gestures, and facial expression while presenting, and I’m currently progressing through it.

Swimming- (I swam professionally in middle school until my local pool closed during COVID, which forced me to pause training. After moving to Moscow, I returned to swimming four years ago and have been training consistently since. I’m planning to resume competitive swimming, and I’m open to joining a college team as I continue developing at a higher level)
