I’m an extroverted introvert with a diverse background and strongly expressed individualism as well as a self-motivated professional dedicated to excellence.

It’s my belief words, language, and the written expression are the foundation of meaningful human existence; the evolution of language, separating us from the rest of the mammals and giving us our superiority, is the one undeniable proof of that.

My poetry collections, Lyrics of the Soul:A Warrior’s Journey and Lyrics of the Soul: Heartbeatreflect my own values and character and emphasize my worldly views and perceptions. 

The credit for my natural and overwhelming love for art, words, and the written expression goes to my genes and upbringing—I come from a family of educators, authors, artists, and pillars in the community of my hometown, a small town by the name of Asenovgrad located at the skirts of the beautiful Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria.

Their influence on me has been immense.

My education includes a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Child and Family Development from Georgia Southern University, a certificate from General Proofreading: Theory and Practicea rigorous program teaching mastery in the art of proofreading—and successfully completed coursework in Copyediting Fiction through the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA). In addition, after completing the necessary coursework and state exams, I held a Real Estate License in the state of Tennessee for a period of time.

I’ve held various diverse jobs and have had the pleasure of working with many people from all walks of life. Having lived in different places and having had many blue- and white-collar titles has allowed me to grow, develop, and expand my perspective and has also solidified my ability to take a look at the world from many different points of view.

I also ran my own writing/editing/proofreading business, and while I found it began to take the pleasure out of my work—I prefer writing for myself and reading literature of my own choosing—it proved to be a tremendous aid in my continuous growth and development and in further strengthening my professional abilities and capabilities.

My professional path, achievements, and education provide my foundation as a versatile Administrative Professional dedicated to Office Operations Excellence, high data integrity, and stellar public-facing communication. My background includes managing busy front offices, navigating complex records registration, and maintaining error-free electronic data management systems. With strong expertise in Precise Data Entry and Document Control, I specialize in processing detailed records and managing secure databases to support peak organizational productivity. I take pride in keeping daily operations running smoothly, ensuring accuracy, and providing a welcoming professional presence.

I firmly believe success is a state of mind and our only limitations are the ones we set for ourselves.

I also believe mistakes are necessary stepping-stones. We never stop growing, learning, and expanding our consciousness and mind.

Undoubtedly, life is a gift and its purpose—experience. Wasting it or not taking full advantage of it is a shame and a paramount loss.
