What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my analytical skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and passionate student currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Computational Sciences at Minerva University, with a minor in Natural Sciences. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my status as valedictorian at the American College of Sofia, where I graduated with a perfect GPA. I have developed a strong foundation in programming languages such as Python and C#, and I have honed my analytical skills through coursework in data analysis and advanced mathematics.

My professional experiences have allowed me to apply my technical skills in real-world settings. As a UI/UX Designer and Researcher for an AI Chatbot Project, I led user research initiatives that informed design decisions aimed at enhancing accessibility for diverse farming communities. Additionally, my role as a University Mental Health Researcher has equipped me with the ability to synthesize qualitative and quantitative data into actionable insights, ultimately contributing to the well-being of my peers. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in the field of computational sciences.
