Hi all! My name is Zhenia Khalabadzhakh, class of 2026, hailing from Kyiv, Ukraine! I am studying Public and International Affairs (SPIA) and pursuing certificates in Translation and Intercultural Communication and Contemporary European Politics and Society. Two things you will always hear me talking about are: languages and Ukrainian history. So if you ever want to chat about either, hit me up! Outside of class, I lead Princeton Ukrainian Society and am an International Policy Associate at Liechtenstein Institute for Self-Determination. In my spare time, I enjoy lifting heavy things in the gym and - newest addition to my hobbies - crocheting!
