I'm a Russian/British national living in Lincoln. I just turned 24 although I get mistaken for younger, which is hilarious because when I was younger, people thought I was older.

My dream, really, hasn't changed a lot from when I was a kid. I want to build bridges between people and help them understand each other. As a kid I'd call this 'World Peace'! I'm very passionate about the arts, science, imagination as well as the world around us. I like to learn and create in equal measure. This has led me to study subjects as varied as engineering and herbal medicine, and try my hand at painting, singing and recently modelling.

Honestly, the political climate has affected myself and so many of us in recent times. I want to model tolerance, understanding, respect for the other. In the meantime, the arts and creativity inspire people to express themselves, create and imagine which is so uplifting.
