Varvara Krasneva

By the end of high school, due to parents’ work, Varvara Krasneva had lived in three different continents, four countries, eight cities, and changed seven schools. Throughout these moves, Varvara has always continued to snowboard even at an indoor hill in the United Arab Emirates. Yet, snowboarding at the local mountains near Vancouver is her favorite place to ride. The Russian Canadian author has done competitive slopestyle snowboarding since she was nine years old, competing at Provincial and National levels in Canada. Varvara is also a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Snowboarding and psychology continuously accompany her in her writing.
