About / The longer story

My story crosses countries, industries, and ideas.

I’m building a career that combines financial understanding, entrepreneurial execution, clear communication, and a genuinely global perspective.

Learning to enter unfamiliar rooms.

I was born in Uzbekistan, studied in London, returned to Uzbekistan, and later moved to the United States. Growing up across educational systems and cultures made adaptability less of a résumé skill and more of a way of seeing the world.

At California Lutheran University, I chose Accounting because understanding financial systems is fundamental to understanding how organizations work. I added Communications because even the best ideas need to be explained, advocated for, and connected to people.

Entrepreneurship became the place where those disciplines meet. Through startup concepts, competitions, technology projects, internships, and campus leadership, I keep turning what I learn into something tangible.

“Make the most out of every opportunity.”

What that means in practice.

Apply for the program. Start the project. Ask the question. Make the introduction. Travel when the door opens. Take the leadership role seriously. Learn a skill before you feel fully ready.

My long-term ambition is to become a CPA, understand businesses deeply, build companies, use technology intelligently, and create opportunities for other people along the way.
