Program/Department:   Policy and International Affairs

Why did you decide to become a GSG senator?: Improving my organization and leadership skills, I would like to represent my department and help it flourish. Connections with students and direct communication with decision makers will help me immerse better into the Grad School Environment

How would you best serve your constituents?: I would represent department’s needs and speak to my constituents in the democratic way through the polls, surveys, and elections. I believe it is also important to keep them posted on every meeting I attend as a part of GSG

Please tell us about your research or some fun facts about you: I am a student from Russia, but I graduated from Alma College, MI, in April 2023. I am going to get a double master in the fields of Global Policy and MBA. In the future, I would like to establish tools of communication and cooperation between Businesses and Governments to address social needs.

How do you plan on communicating with your constituents?:  I would like to meet my stakeholders regularly to create an open dialogue. My constituents will get my email to make the communication flow better. Presentations on the updates might be also helpful to present the progress
