Brief Bio and Fun Fact: I was born in the Ukraine and immigrated to the US at age 5. I grew up in Ohio and was very involved in USY. At Ohio State, I majored in Spanish and minored in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I completed my master's and PhD degrees at UT Austin while working as a multilingual speech language pathologist, Sunday school Hebrew teacher, and USY advisor. I have a preschooler and we spend time together doing sports, arts and crafts, listening to music, and running around outside.
