Who I am:

After completing my Fulbright grant I would like to:

Upon completing my Fulbright grant, I will further my academic journey by pursuing a Ph.D. in Slavic Studies at the University of Illinois-Chicago, with a focus on 19th and 20th-century Polish and Russian. I hope to build upon the insights gleaned from my Fulbright research during my program.
