I was born in the south of Kazakhstan, in a small city called Kyzylorda. I have been interested in biology since childhood. Therefore I have participated and taken 2nd and 3rd places in the national biology olympiads during my high school years. In 2008 I participated in 19th International Biology Olympiad held in Mumbai, India. Currently, I am enrolled in the Pre-medical program Nazarbayev University. I am interested in molecular biology and physiology.
I like playing football and tennis. Also, I enjoy reading fiction books and my favorite authors are Jack London, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
