I was born in Tajikistan, a small, high-mountain country in Central Asia. I spent my adolescence in Moscow, Russia. Driven by a deep desire for independence, I later moved to Germany, where I lived for 11 years and devoted myself to my true passion—psychology. A few years ago, I moved to the United States, and now live with my husband and our young daughter in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Let’s see where life leads me next.
