About me

  Bulgarian actor based in Sofia, available for international productions. I graduated from the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts (NATFA) and work across film, television and theatre. I enjoy portraying authentic, emotionally grounded characters and am drawn to stories that explore human complexity.

  My background includes musical theatre, singing, guitar, piano, drums, stage combat and fencing, allowing me to adapt to a wide range of roles. Fluent in Bulgarian and English, I value collaboration, curiosity and continuous growth as an actor, and I am always excited to be part of meaningful and ambitious productions.
