I was born and raised in Saint-Petersburg Russia where I received my medical degree. After graduation, I moved to Boston Massachusetts, where I completed a residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology followed by a fellowship in Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology at Harvard Medical School. Upon completion of my pathology training, I joined the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at The University of Ottawa. While in Ottawa, I established myself as an expert in Gastrointestinal, Hepatobiliary, and Breast Pathology over three years of subspecialty sign-out. I have always been passionate about teaching and I am always ready to share my knowledge with trainees. Another area of interest is Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement in Anatomic Pathology. I joined the Royal Columbian Hospital as an Anatomic Pathologist in 2018. Outside of work,

I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, hiking and road cycling.
