Fun Fact

I was born in Bulgaria, so I have some experience from abroad and am looking to pursue travel in the future--be it through work or as recreation.

Passion

Sustainability, transparency, and inclusivity are key pillars for me in everything I do. I love writing and am passionate about economics, especially surrounding discussions about resource (re)distribution. Creating space for accessible dialogue regarding diificult-to-digest information is key.
