My name is Ksenia Lyubov Novikova.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY by a family of Russian Jewish immigrants. I take the lessons that my resilient family has taught me everywhere I go.

I am currently a senior at American University in Washington, D.C. At AU, I study Political Science and Communications.

I am very passionate about education, all things NYC, and learning about people from all over the world. I hope to pursue a career in education or journalism after I leave college.

Outside of school, I can be found discussing my love for Brooklyn, dancing for fun, or taking long walks with a pen and some paper.
