Research-driven sociology graduate with experience in teaching and research.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented individual with a strong passion for research and teaching. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a solid foundation in sociology and have honed my skills in research, data analysis, and language instruction. My experience as a research assistant has equipped me with the ability to work independently and collaboratively, and I am confident in my ability to contribute to a dynamic team.
As a teaching assistant, I have developed a range of skills, including lesson planning, material development, and classroom facilitation. I am committed to creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment that fosters student growth and development. My proficiency in multiple languages, including Kazakh, Russian, English, and Turkish, has enabled me to communicate effectively with diverse groups and facilitate cross-cultural understanding.
I am excited to leverage my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact in a professional setting. I am a strong believer in the importance of continuous learning and am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest developments in my field.
