While at school I have been an active member of school community and participated in different activities academic, sports, extracurricular. Four-year membership in the schools parliament improved my leadership, communication, team work skills and convinced me that I want to... pin my future career on administration and management. In Kiev Slavonic University the emphasis of my study was comprehension of the fundamental theories and principles that govern modern day international relations.

I found the last two topics, project management and strategic management, to be very interesting and exciting, because one of my career aspirations is to lead development projects with a strategic focus. The second degree in applied psychology was obtained several years later as I had felt a need in deeper understanding in this area during management of non-profit organizations social project.
