Ever since I completed an internship in Uganda during my time as a master's student, my passion has lied in international educational development.
My courses are designed to help students acquire robust quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, enabling them to conduct theory-based empirical research and publish papers that can contribute to policymaking in this dynamic field.
Based on my personal experiences, I urge and guide students to conduct fieldwork in developing countries. Furthermore, I actively encourage them to gain practical experience through internships at various development agencies, including international organizations.
