About

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
John Dewey

I am a graduate student soon finishing Master’s program in Educational Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I am very passionate about education and I believe that quality education is essential for human development. Contributing to the quality of education is not just a job for me, but a way of living.

I think that professional interventions in the field of educational innovation should continuously contribute to society’s educational and social innovations. This can be achieved by developing, evaluating, and improving learning processes and learning environments from a variety of theoretical perspectives.

My Skills

I believe that learning is a never-ending journey. I strive to continuously improve myself by broadening my knowledge and learning new skills.
