Anya Patrusheva - Russia

If I was asked to define myself in one word, I would say that I am an explorer. For the past 22 years of my life I did not just explore cultures, countries, food, and traditions, but also explored my career preferences, my strength and weakness, and of course my goals in life. I was born in the Siberian capital city, Novosibirsk, Russia. I completed art, music, and high school there with concentration in Russian law and economics. I also studied abroad in Germany for 2 month and ended up moving to Italy to obtain International Baccalaureate where I concentrated on biochemistry. Afterwards, I moved to Fulton, Missouri. I am double majoring in Biochemistry and International Business, while minoring in Psychology at Westminster College. I will be pursuing medical school upon graduation and absolutely cannot wait to see where this life will take me again.
