About

I am a current PhD Student at the School of Social Work, University of Alabama since 2024. My research interest focuses on school-based suicide prevention programs. I hold an MSW degree with Children and Youth (2021-2023) and a bachelor's degree in teaching (1999-2004). I was a Research Fellow at the University of Warsaw, Poland (2020-2021). Subsequently, for about 15 years, I devoted myself professionally to youth, organizational, and community projects in Kyrgyzstan.
