My Story

I studied French Philology at Sofia University and right after that I pursued my Master’s at ESFAM, with courses from HEC Liège, graduating from HEC Liège and specializing in Management, Marketing, Innovation and Digitalization. French has always been my passion, and I also enjoyed teaching it to children and teenagers. Before joining Pontica, I completed an internship at ESFAM, which gave me valuable hands-on experience and prepared me for the next step in my career.

Pontica came at the perfect moment – just after graduation, when I was eager to put into practice what I had learned during my studies and to keep developing myself further. I started almost a year ago, and this year has flown by so quickly!

Outside of work, I love sports, especially Street Workout, Calisthenics and fitness. I am also very creative: drawing has been my passion since childhood, I enjoy photography, reading and spending time in nature.
