About me
My international work experience includes both
the private and public sectors spanning from the US to the Balkan Peninsula. As an external
auditor for one of the Big 4 CPA firms and a small CPA firm, I was also
fortunate to develop my business acumen as an accountant for a multinational
conglomerate corporation in America. Once
moving to Germany, I honed my entrepreneurial skills taking advantage of my
strong analytical and strategic skills, enthusiasm to innovation and motivation
to excel by building an impressive array of clients as a business English
teacher and founding my own company with my Bulgarian business partner, our manufacturer
and Maltese project manager. With this valuable
international work experience, it has enhanced my strong interpersonal skills
leading and motivating cross-functional and cross-cultural teams.
