Branka Tomic
Lecturer, Administrative Sciences, BU Metropolitan College
As a first generation college student (both undergraduate and graduate) and as an immigrant to US, I have lived through first time experiences both in Europe (Belgrade, Serbia) and in USA (Boston, Massachusetts). I gained valuable knowledge, and I am very happy to offer sharing it with those students like I once was, who may need my guidance for all I can help with. Please feel free to reach out at btomic@bu.edu
