What I'm looking for

Seeking a role in managing EU-funded projects focused on social inclusion and community development, leveraging my expertise in policy analysis and data-driven approaches to foster positive change.

I am a dedicated professional with over a decade of experience in managing EU-funded projects and advocating for social inclusion, particularly within the Roma community. Currently, I serve as a Project Manager at the Institute for Research and Policy Analysis - Romalitico, where I oversee USAID-funded initiatives aimed at fostering community development.

My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in International Relations from Sofia University and specialized training in data science from Brainster Academy. I've also earned certifications in project management and interpretation, equipping me with a versatile skill set.

I take pride in my ability to coordinate complex projects, build stakeholder relationships, and drive impactful social change. My work has involved managing multi-municipality projects, organizing data collection efforts, and collaborating with international organizations to enhance community development and policy analysis.
