How do you like to spend your free time?

On the Move – of the body ор keeping the mind active and awake. My hobby is photography; I read books on the subject and have the necessary equipment. I'm still searching for my favorite genre... I love spending time with the important people around me – traveling, meeting friends, taking walks, and visiting interesting places and sightseeings. And last but not least – embracing parental responsibility – sometimes through play and laughter, other times with discipline and explanations.

What are you passionate about?

The feeling of a job well done and the ability to make someone feel good.

Why did you choose this profession?

I didn’t choose this profession; it chose me.

What is your favorite quote or saying?

From Valeri Petrov: "We are all born perfect, then each of us deteriorates as much as they can." And I would add – "and as much as they want."

Where were you born and raised?

Plovdiv and Radomir, Bulgaria

Why did you join the Dr. Shefketova’s team?

Because I received a personal invitation from her.
