As a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Entrepreneurs Lab class, I supported professor Ted Zoller by facilitating class discussions, mentoring and monitoring students, and supported students in developing their entrepreneurial skills.Furthermore, I assisted with grading assignments, guided students through entrepreneurial concepts, and helped organize course materials and activities to enhance the learning experience. Additionally, I coordinated in-person guest speaker sessions as needed.

I supervised a project team to achieve the programmatic goals of four active education programs involving 4 grant projects, 10 sub-grantees and over 350 project participants. I analyzed, assessed, and reviewed budgets for 20+ projects to ensure expenditures aligned with program objectives and prepared financial reports for the donor. I also represented KUSA in the formation of the U.S.-Kosovo Educational Exchange Board by organizing a launch event, coordinating two small grants programs, and delivering a 12-week training on managing exchange programs. Additionally, I conducted over 100 external monitoring visits, reviews, and cross-site evaluations. My outreach efforts resulted in a 28% increase in applications for the 2021/22 Fulbright cohort compared to the 2020/21 cycle when the project was first introduced.

I led, analyzed, wrote, and assisted in over 20 research projects, 16 of which focused on market research for local businesses and NGOs, including USAID, UNDP, and GIZ. I also managed three social media accounts, resulting in a 36% increase in audience compared to the previous year. Additionally, I was a co-author of the IT Barometer 2018, a study commissioned by the Kosovo ICT Association (STIKK) to gather data on the operation and development of the IT sector in Kosovo.
