How do you like to spend your free time?
I enjoy spending most of my free time with my children playing board games. In that rare alone time, I enjoy watching movies or sports playing.
What are you passionate about?
The smiles of my children and people. I love bringing happiness to my family and our patients.
Why did you choose this profession?
I didn’t choose embryology—embryology chose me… Creating life with my own hands, observing embryo development, and witnessing the smiles and tears of joy when a pregnancy is confirmed—these are invaluable experiences and emotions that make "Embryology" not just a profession, but a personal mission.
What is your favorite quote or saying?
Live so that you leave a sing.
Where were you born and raised?
Sofia, Bulgaria
Why did you join the Dr. Shefketova team?
Dr. Shefketova is an incredible person with a big heart. I really enjoy being part of this team, where understanding and professionalism reign, but most of all I appreciate that we share a common goal - to make dreams of a child come true.
