Hannah Y.
Tutors: Writing
I came to Purchase after the school I attended in Belarus was closed down by the government for being too subversive and Eastern Europe ceased to be an exciting place for me to be. I come from a military family so living on the road is practically in my blood and I hope to never settle down for one place. I am definitely planning on going to graduate school eventually. Meanwhile, I work hard to make the best out of life. I love music and art and do a little bit of both when I have free time.
