Get To Know Me
PERSONAL BACKGROUND
I had a challenging childhood growing up in the former Soviet Union, but despite that, I managed to do well until my mid-twenties. I was smart and excelled in school, which led me to emigrate to the USA in 2002. There, I decided to become an auditor.
I built a successful career at Ernst & Young in New York City and later at Google.
But despite this outward success, I wasn’t truly happy. At 26, I became severely depressed.
I sought therapy, and it helped.
In 2011, I attended Burning Man, which turned out to be a transformative experience. That’s when I first connected with psychedelics, which would go on to play a significant role in my journey.
These days, psychedelics are becoming more mainstream and less stigmatized, making it easier for me to speak out and share my passion more openly
