About Me

I am a journalist with more than six years of experience in news reporting, feature writing and editing for digital media.

As a devoted self-starter, my enjoyment and critical interest in new media increased significantly throughout the years while I was working at MaYoMo.com, a former social news network for citizen journalism (no longer in business). My experience there helped me gain excellent research skills, the ability to find breaking news, to write high-quality, creative and reliable content and unearth unique user-generated video footage on topics of interest, which eventually resulted in my personal success story -- some of my articles have been referred by The Huffington Post, The Guardian, France24 Observers, The Daily Beast and NowPublic, to name a few.

In my spare time I am a keen TED Talks translation volunteer.

I was born and live in Sofia, Bulgaria - the saddest country in the world, according to a 2010 research, published by The Economist (http://www.economist.com/node/17722557). Yet, I'm very optimistic, enthusiastic and cheerful :)
