Academic Areas of Interest

“Bachelor of Science in Economics at Wharton School of Business. Planning to concentrate in Marketing & Finance. Passionate about marketing, its interdisciplinary nature (how it balances both creativity and analytics) and marketing’s importance in promotion of social projects. As a part of the Joseph Wharton Scholars program, I am also interested in research in neuroscience and its application in business.”

Future Plans

“The next four years at Penn will definitely change me, my life perception and future plans, which is why I remain open-minded. But I believe in application of business knowledge in development of social projects, and I am interested in working in business in tech, digital & education. I also hope to use the knowledge I will gain here to improve the quality of education back in my home country, Kazakhstan.”
