About
Me:
I am currently an
Associate Professor of Economics at the Harrison College of Business
at Southeast Missouri State University. I was born in Minsk,
Belarus, where I attended Belarus State Economic University
specializing in Hospitality Economics and Management. I moved to the
United States in 2004 to Portland, Maine, and four years later
graduates with a bachelor's degree (magna cum laude) in
Economics from the University of Southern Maine. I completed my MA
in Economics in 2011 and my Ph.D. in Economics in 2014 at the
University of South Florida, Tampa. My dissertation is in the
Economics of Healthcare and examines the effect of social
interactions on a woman's decision to have a screening mammography.
Outside of academia, I
enjoy spending time with my family. I love ceramics and frequently
go to local pottery studio with my friends for plate-painting
classes. In my free time I
like cooking, going to concerts, and exploring the
beautiful Cape Girardeau area together with my husband.
