My name is Marharyta, and I am a fourth-year Biology student at the Autonomous University of Madrid. I am Ukrainian and have been living in Spain for seven years. I believe I have been fascinated by nature since I was very young. However, I clearly remember the day I decided to become a biologist: it was during my first biology classes at school in Ukraine, when we were studying the metamorphosis of amphibians. In my free time, I enjoy doing sports, such as going to the gym, as well as crocheting, listening to music, reading, and maintaining a botanical garden in my room.
