    Making the impossible possible with JA

    I come from a unique small town in the heart of Bulgaria called Veliko Tarnovo, which is a place of historical significance and cultural value. Currently, I am a third-year student at the International Faculty of the University of Sheffield in Sofia. Additionally, I am a team leader on a project in Sofia that supports start-up development, management and related issues. I also contribute a huge part of my free time to entrepreneurship as it is also of huge interest for me. Junior Achievement Bulgaria gave me the opportunity to obtain a more detailed insight into these areas and draw links between the theoretical framework covered in university lectures and their real life application.

    Supporting innovation through youth mentorship

    I decided to join the SIR for several reasons. Firstly, as a researcher, I am always interested in innovation, new ideas, and novelties, especially if they are intended to make life better. Secondly, I am always one of the firsts to commit to voluntary services or to support revolutionary movements. Lastly, I also like to work with young people. In the past, I had some courses on market research in a Budapest university. In all, I was very happy that NN supports the SIR this year and I hope it won’t be the last time either.
