Integrative Project Title: IGO versus INGO: A Comparative Study of Higher Education Programs in Russia
Description of your current position: I currently work as a Program Coordinator at the American Councils for International Education in Moscow. In this position, I am in charge of secondary school educational programs for Russian students.
Something special about your TC experience: TC helped me to believe in myself, helped me to realize that I can learn, achieve, and succeed. TC became a real home for me - whether it was Gottesman Libraries allowing quietness and solitude, the TC Cafeteria for group meetings, or a cozy home-like ceramics studio allowing distraction from classes and everyday worries.
