After earning her Master's degree in English teaching, Sofiya moved to Utah from Ukraine seven years ago. Upon moving to the States Sofiya sought to expand her knowledge in disciplines like economics, politics, and international studies. After extensively researching all the programs available in these areas, the MIAGE program turned out to be just what she was looking for. Sofiya will complete the program next year, and she has big plans after graduation. She intends to work in intelligence as a language analyst. Additionally, she hopes to set up a non-profit in her home country of Ukraine, which has recently experienced a Russian military invasion. Sofiya would like to establish a foundation providing food and shelter for orphans in Eastern Ukraine. Next semester she will take a course in management of non-profit organizations to equip her with the skills necessary to accomplish this.
