My professional experience is in the field of the system of child protection. My professional career started as a social worker in the Child Protection Department where I dare to say that I could touch upon all themes of social work with children and families at risk. I graduated in Social Education at Sofia University. I think that the profession should be my vocation. In this regard, I am very happy that I found it.

Personally, I am calm and balanced person. I can say that I am a very positive and optimistic person. I believe that everyone can achieve their goals and dreams, as long as they believe in themselves.

My personal motto is: "Nothing is impossible as long as you do not fear to want them."

The thing nobody knows about me is - something that few people know about me is that I often talk in my sleep.

I work for For Our Children Foundation because the policies, values and principles of the Foundation fully match mine. I believe that the best for a child is to grow up in family. To see children's eyes filled with joy and desire to explore the world is my motivation to take forward this cause.
