Introduction

Hello! My name is Kseniia and I am a first-year student at Duke. On this page, you can find some information about me and my life!

Background

I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. I grew up in a completely different culture and I still can't adapt to the American lifestyle. I always wanted to study abroad, but I could never imagine that I will have an opportunity to study in the US. Duke has been my dream school for years and I am very happy to be here!

Interests

Other than studying, I love watching movies (and one day I want to write a script for one!), cooking, swimming and travelling!

Academic and career interests

I want to major in Biomedical engineering and work in the biotechnology industry. I participated in pEdge (project Edge) at Duke, which introduced me to all the innovation opportunities at the university and now I want to be an entrepreneur, so I want to start my own company one day!

Fun facts

Some random things about me:

- I lived in Germany for a couple of months (and I also speak German fluently)

- My favorite book is Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak

- I've never been to the US before coming to Duke

- I think Christopher Nolan is the best filmmaker of all times

- I learned English by watching YouTube and Netflix
