Educator at Discover International School, aligning IB PYP and Montessori learning in a bilingual classroom.

Bulgaria
Message

At Discover International School, I deliver a bilingual, child-centered education that aligns the IB PYP framework with Montessori curriculum. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning and build a classroom culture rooted in respect and open-mindedness.

At Viljandi Kutseõppekeskus, I developed language courses across 22 faculties and taught drama, dance, improv acting, and filmmaking. I also worked on ERASMUS+ and Nordplus educational initiatives, including digital upskilling tools and career transition programs.

My work has also taken me from performing in Evita and Uncharted 4 to writing iGaming content and producing multimedia projects. I hold an M.Ed. in teaching foreign languages, a BFA in Dance Performance, and a BA in Drama.
