Supplementary Career Information

My enrollment at the University began in 2013 and was interrupted in 2016 due to financial constraints. I enrolled again in 2017 and completed it in 2021.

As a first-generation academic, I’m the first to obtain a master's degree in the family, and I have the opportunity to pursue a doctorate degree in another country.
