My name is Gaia. I was born in Belarus on 26 August 1973. I received my early education at home and a public school.

During last 4 years of school I attended a gifted program with emphasis on physics and mathematics. After graduating with honors at age 16, I attended BSMU Belarusian State Medical University, Faculty of General Medicine or Medical Faculty.
