Being perhaps the only path where I don’t need to put myself in strict frames of how I should explore and build the world around me, Entrepreneurship feels the one I want to walk through my life. I love humanities and science, social disciplines and arts, and I see these fields as different tools that I can use to make the world a better place. That’s why the Dyer Center became my safe place from the very first days on campus: a zone where I can create and explore with no orthodox limits. As an entrepreneur, I’m still looking for my “product”, but my ultimate goal lies in the expansion of opportunities and accessibility of education and networking for the youth worldwide. So far, I’ve been working with two startups in two different industries — education (with a focus on westernization of education in post-Soviet countries) and fintech (creating network environment for novice investors to help them enter the market). I already feel excited about my next projects within Dyer Center Fellowship and beyond. I don’t have fears — I go ahead and jump in the water!
