Employee

I am originally from Russia and Ukraine, and immigrated to the USA in 1994. Before coming to California, I lived in Des Moines, Iowa, where I worked as a project manager and an export/import coordinator for Compressor Controls Corporation. I managed a team of 12-15 employees in three different countries. Education-wise, I earned a BS degree in Geography and Biology in Russia (Samara State University), an AS degree in Business Administration from Des Moines Area Community College, an MBA from Drake University, and an MS in Online Teaching and Learning from CSU East Bay. I have been teaching at Chabot since 2000. Besides teaching, I am currently serving as the Business department coordinator, and am actively involved in various committees, activities, and organizations on campus. I specialize in advising students on their Business pathways in transferring to universities and earning various certificates/degree in the Business department.
