A Russian attorney and permanent resident of Canada, I am awaiting my interview to become a Canadian citizen. Still only 26 years old, I seek additional training in the public sphere that will help to prepare me for my long term career goal of serving in Canada’s diplomatic core. Since my arrival in Canada, I have completed an internship doing legal research and also gained further professional experience working as a legal assistant for an international company, dealing with business executives worldwide in both public and private sectors. Public affairs are where my passion lies. I look forward to many years of faithful service to my new community, the Canadian people. My special dream is to contribute to the development of policies geared towards peace-making, both domestically and internationally, conflict resolution, and the promotion of stability.
