In the fifth year, I had the chance to lead the student entrepreneurs' club and help students in the business field. I also repeatedly won regional competitions fr om the “Russia – Land of Opportunity” platform. All these achievements allowed me to join the World Youth Festival 2024, wh ere I represented our region and university as a young urbanist.
