I was born in Bulgaria and I come from the town of Sozopol. I have lived in Athens from the age of 3 until 9 years old, where I went to kindergarten and first and second grade of elementary school. Moving back to Bulgaria with my family, I have lived in Sofia for my middle school years and I have finished my high school education in Beijing, China. I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Studies from Leiden University and currently I am a Master's student in the program Global East Asia at Freie Universität in Berlin, Germany. Throughout my life, I have been actively involved with the Bulgarian–Greek Friendship Association "Apollonia" in Sozopol, organizing and taking part in their cultural events, activities and efforts to preserve the Greek culture and language.
