Curriculum Vitae

Education

For me, to learn means to touch the achievement of the human civilization and to communicate with its leaders. Every item of knowledge inspires me.

Since 2016 I hold a PhD degree on Social Governance in the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Sofia University „St. Kliment Ohridski". I have graduated the Legal Faculty on the same university with a MA in Law, as well as additional qualifications on "Company management", "Administrative governance" and „Project management".
I have specialized in areas, such as:

• European and English law (Cambridge university, United Kingdom);
• Entrepreneurship (TOP Class Programme, (CEED Bulgaria)
• Social entrepreneurship („Health for All” Association, BCAF, Social enterprise UK, United Kingdom)
• Corporate social responsibility (Bulgarian Standardization Institute, UNIDO, Austria)
• Clean production (SERC, Neosys, Switzerland)
• Project management (Italian Institute for external trade)
• Alternative dispute resolution („Partners Bulgaria” Foundation, American BAR Association)
