Margarita Chernyaeva
Margarita is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and is currently working as an Embryologist at a fertility clinic in Minneapolis. She immigrated to the USA from Russia when she was 6 years old. Back then, she was learning both English and Russian and her mom had to rely on libraries, their church community, and friends and family in order to acquire Russian learning materials for her. When she found out about EFM, she was reminded of her experience and how much she would have valued having learning materials more accessible to her. Translating for EFM has given her the opportunity to expand access to math education by providing resources for her community.
