I believe everyone can have a purpose and significance in society, and education is the key to reaching one's potential
I have multiple interests, which leads me to pursue experiences in several fields, mostly scientific and cultural. Besides work and academic related activities, I find ways to continue with volunteer work, as well as practice rhythmic gymnastics and remain a member of the national team.
