What do you enjoy about your job? What aspects of your job are the most exciting or interesting?
Having an opportunity to deliver information and to share with my students my knowledge and skills obtained and developed in the US brings great pleasure and satisfaction to me.

Why did you choose to pursue an MPA/MPP degree?
It fit my personal and professional interests and aspirations.

How did you select your graduate school?
With the help of an excellent program named MUSKIE, I got a unique opportunity to study in the US and to see how democracy works in reality and what it means to provide good and useful education.

How do you feel your MPA/MPP is helping you to make a difference?
The best way to change society is to change the minds of the people. As a person who lives in a country in transition, I think the best way to make the life and the state better is to teach new methods and disseminate new, progressive thought and approach.
