About Me
Hello! I am Polina Epshtein. I am a freshman at Duke University. I am from Idaho. You may not know a lot of people from Idaho, I am from a very small town on the border or Idaho, Washington, and Canada! As you can imagine it gets very cold there. Some fun facts about me are: my favorite color is pink, I have a dog named Cooper, and I am originally from Ukraine!
