My name is Aset Sadvakassovna Kyzдарbekova, born in Shu, Zhambyl Region. I grew up in a large family with eight daughters. In 1995, I started my studies at Secondary School named after S. Seifullin and graduated in 2006. The same year, I entered Alatau Kazakhstan University to major in Finance on a tuition-paid basis. In 2008, due to excellent academic performance and coming from a large family, I was transferred to a state educational grant. In 2011–2013, I completed my Master’s degree in Finance at the Kazakhstan Engineering, Financial and Banking Academy.

I am the author of more than 15 scientific publications, including articles published in journals indexed by the Committee for Quality in Science (Kazakhstan) and Scopus.
