My teachers helped me enrich my academic knowledge in the field. I attended classes where staff used state-of-the-art educational techniques, both theoretically and practically, which helped gain the necessary skills to meet the high demands of the profession.

My distinguished teachers, who inspired and supported me whenever I needed them, even by providing the space for fruitful disagreements, helped shape my professional profile.
