My main spheres of specialization are politics, communication, management, and media. I am particularly interested in developing corporate social responsibility, public relations, civil sector, and international relations with more than fifteen years' experience, having the opportunity to get more into the aspects of especially these sectors. I had the chance to gain my experience while being a participant, a trainer, and finally, a leader in these fields, which further reinforced my desire to take on new challenges.My interest in politics, communication, management and media, the civil sector, and international relations is as well underpinned with a solid academic education in these spheres – bachelor degree in “Public policies and politics” (summa cume Laude) and forthcoming master in “International relation” in New Bulgarian University as well master in law in Veliko Turnovo University. In addition to this, I am an organizer and participant in many national and international forums and training in this field. This gives me additional knowledge, which has been acquired through informal education. My professional experience includes designing, developing, and managing projects funded by private, national, and international donors. As well as being part of the management and managing holiday hotels. Due to all mentioned above - my experience, education, background, and passion precisely to these sectors, I adapt rapidly to new environments and new challenges. During the years, I have proved to be communicative, accurate, and excellent teamwork skills. Due to all the work and my professional activities, I have developed my intercultural communicative skills, and I am easily adaptive in any working environment. I truly appreciate collegiality, correctness, potential and self - development, constructive criticism, ingenuity, and diversity, as well as personal uniqueness.
