Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I’m a girl from Russia. I love raccoons and biology books. I’m a model and I love to travel all around the world and meet with talented people who inspire me a lot. One day I wanna have a farm with a lot of goats and dogs, and maybe even a horse to run around in the forest.

 Who would you confine with?

Now I’m at home with my boyfriend and I’m very happy to have him. We support each other and it’s just nice to be home with him. But of course I wish I could see my family and friends.

What's your work-from-home style?

One of my first experiences from working at home was with you guys. Just wearing my pajamas or casual clothes, run around the apartment with my phone, dance and chill on FaceTime with Allan.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

I don’t really have crazy skills. I’m now spending most of my time drawing. I paint a lot with oil and acrylic colors. I can do it for hours and get lost in time. 

Also, I love the Hercules cartoon: every time I’m watching it I dance to every song, ahah.

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

I wanna go for a BBQ with all my friends, play basketball and dance. For travel I choose Costa Rica: I just wanna go there to spend every day in the sea and chill with sloths.

 Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

Now since I can’t leave house and see my friends I’m spending a lot of time on the Houseparty app and FaceTime. I miss my friends a lot, so now my dream is to see them in person and give them a big hug.
