My journey commenced as a music teacher who initially questioned the significance of formal qualifications. This led me to pursue Master's degree and eventually a PhD. The initial papers I authored for three teaching diplomas facilitated my transition into academia and contributed to my first dissertation. Following the completion of my Master's degree dissertation, I dedicated substantial amount of time to learning about research methodology and the intricacies of writing for a PhD. This process has proven to be a profound learning experience, and every moment has been invaluable. I am looking forward to 2025 and the next stage of this journey.
