Greetings! I am an artist from Ukraine and I currently study Arts and Humanities at Minerva University. As an artist and student, I strive to use my knowledge, skills, and creativity to foster positive change. I believe that through art and education, we can bridge divides and create a more harmonious world. Throughout the past few years, I had a unique opportunity to study with people from more than 90 countries all around the world. At first, I was awarded a scholarship to study at United World Colleges Dilijan, Armenia, as one of the 8 finalists of the Ukrainian National selection. Then, after receiving acceptance letters from top schools in the US, I continued my education at Minerva University, where the curriculum prioritizes intercultural competency end growth mindset. With my inspiring classmates from all around the globe, we travel, study, and work on various projects in San Francisco, Seoul, Taipei, Hyderabad, Buenos Aires, London, and Berlin. Thanks to my high school and current undergraduate experience, I grew passionate about connecting people, cultures, and ideas through visual artistic expression for the sake of a peaceful future. My ultimate goal is to work on art and education projects to build bridges in my home country of Ukraine and provide more youth with life-changing opportunities, just like the ones that I was able to find for myself.
