Since then, I have been writing scientific publications on current topics every year, and participating in scientific competitions and international conferences. At the same time, I apply all my knowledge and research in my work. I am very interested in studying my field at a deep level because I know that it will make me more successful as a specialist,” says Daria Shalina.
