was born in Kyrgyzstan in the early 1980s. I was raised in St. Louis and House Springs, MO. I grew up in a family skilled in cars and construction. When my husband, Petro and I got married in the late 1990s, my real journey in the construction field began.  Years later, our boys picked up that trade in different fields.

While homeschooling five children, there was always something to do- including becoming a bookkeeper. After raising the children (mostly all of them- we still have a 13 year old 🙂 and later managing a Edible Arrangement store, I decided to step into the finance world beyond my home. Here I am today, owner of Simply Balanced LLC, a bookkeeping firm in St. Clair, MO, ready to serve my local community and beyond.
