I was five years old when I first stepped into the pool in Ukraine at five years old, I was unaware that swimming would shape my entire life. By six, I was competing; by twelve, I had earned my first major title. From that moment, I dedicated myself to the sport, training relentlessly and overcoming every challenge.

I competed in the Deaflympics, World, European, and NCAA Championships, racing among the best swimmers in the world. To this day, I hold National, World, and European records, proving that no physical, personal, or environmental barrier can stand in the way of success.
