My personal interests are related to culture and the arts, to the possibilities of magical new technologies, to psychology and human relations. That's how I met neurographics - a method for creating and re-creating the world. I want to talk about him at this year's TEDx in Samokov. My whole life path is connected with Samokov – I was born here, my family, my work, my life is here.

I graduated from SU "Kliment Ohridski" with a major in Bulgarian philology, and in my professional path, fate connected my life with young people - I am a teacher at the Samokov "Konstantin Fotinov" high school, a school with nearly 130 years of history, with indisputable authority in our city, education of a number of self-smiths.

I treat my work with respect and responsibility. I try to combine my teaching experience with my scientific interests in the field of literature. I have published three collections for the preparation of high school graduates and candidate students, I am the author of a number of articles in the specialized magazine "Bulgarian Language and Literature".

For me, from a professional perspective, innovative teaching methods are of particular interest - interactivity in learning, STEM-learning, project-based and problem-based learning, etc. I am the author of my own methodological development of technology for conducting transdisciplinary lessons.

My methodological searches led me to discover the possibilities of information technologies and to connect these possibilities with my work in the literature and Bulgarian language classes. I try to educate myself because I realize that learning is a continuous process. I introduce self-learned digital applications (eg Bookcreator; In Design) to my students and help them master them, encourage them to work with them, create their own products and actively participate in common projects. In my series of participation in professional scientific conferences related to the introduction of innovative teaching methods, I present my pedagogical searches and experiments.

My work at school is not only related to teaching in school hours. In the last ten years, I have been the leader of various clubs for activities of interest. - Media design, neurographics club "Grafikon", literary club "Agador", club for developing language competences "I, books, vedi" With the most sustainable development among them is the club "I am an author!", which publishes the school magazine "#Apostrophe'ART". We are particularly proud of this magazine, because the patron of our school - Konstantin Fotinov - is the founder of the periodical press in Bulgaria.

For my professional achievements, I was awarded the Certificate for Teacher of the Year (2018) from the municipality. Samokov

My profession is dynamic, difficult, but also very invigorating. I like the daily challenges in it, which make me keep on searching, learning.
