I was born in 1983. By training, I am a physician with a Doctor of Medical Sciences degree. I am also a graduate of the CWS and Band writing workshops. Russian literary journals Unost as well as the anthology Amazing Stories (Astrel SPb), have published my short fiction. When I am not writing, I play the piano, draw in pencil, and take photographs. Medicine taught me to look closely at people. Art taught me to listen to what I see.
