I am a passionate educator who loves working with different ages and fields of study. Dreaming about a multidisciplinary model for schools, I am doing projects that combine STEAM and CLIL approaches in education. Everything is connected; we, as teachers, just need to show it to everyone.

Throughout my life, I have worked as a teacher for K-12, a teaching assistant for Higher Education and even a gymnastics coach for a while, but no matter what I did, it was all based on the instruction. Moreover, depending on the quality of instruction, I, as a teacher, could get satisfactory or non-satisfactory results. Over the years of studying for my bachelor's and two master's, I mastered my skills and currently feel confident in teaching at the primary school, ESL, and university levels and presenting as a guest lecturer. Furthermore, my research on international students' perception of their adaptation experiences promotes intercultural competence and exchange between students in my blog and the universities where I present (Southern Federal University, Minin University).
I currently work at Syracuse University (SU) in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment (IEA), which specializes in instructional design for higher education. The office headcount is seven permanent workers and more than ten interns, including me. They are instructional designers, graphic designers, data scientists and educational technology specialists. The office focuses on managing Syracuse University accreditation and supports SU to success in assessment, program review, strategic planning and course feedback projects. IEA also provides consultations for operation success and operational support for strategic initiatives of Academic Affairs. My instructional design intern position focuses on blended learning and the design/development of instructional materials.
When I enrolled in the instructional design program, I could not imagine that this field was much broader than just developing instructions for students. However, over the year of study, I improved as an Instructional Designer from a beginner to a more advanced level while studying and working on my projects. All the courses gave me a better understanding of the instructional design process. They helped me to become a professional and to be able to work as an instructional design intern in the Office of Effectiveness and Assessment.
