Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hello! My name is Anna, but I prefer Anya. I came to New York city when I was 10 from St. Petersburg, Russia. After graduation from Trinity School in NYC, I am lucky to be at MIT. I am a 7 (Biology) major with a minor in French Literature. I'm now a senior, and have learned that the immune system and the microorganisms are possibly the coolest things to ever evolve. I'm in process of applying to graduate schools, and am hoping one day to be a researcher/professor. Oh and I play lots of Dungeons and Dragons.
