She was born in the USSR, and earned her bachelors and masters degree in chemistry in Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute in 1992. When she came to the United States in 1999, she decided to change her career, because she always wanted to be in a health care professional field.

Her professional philosophy is every patient deserves the best care possible. She truly believes that a Dental Hygienist is not only a health care provider, but an educator as well.
