Meet Alena Ermochenko, a PhD student, lecturer, program manager, and more. But how does she do it all?
Oh, it’s a challenge for sure, but I love it :) Now it’s particularly tough because it’s the last six months of my PhD program, and I am finishing my thesis. […] I’d say that being at the faculty helps me a lot: all of my responsibilities are connected to it and its staff, so it’s not that challenging to keep all my to-do lists under control. It could be that some projects even turn out more successful because I can approach them on multiple levels.
