About me
View profile
I am a theater and film actress. I’ve played over 30 roles in theatre. My feature film debut as Irina, in “Irina” (dir. Nadezhda Koseva, 2018) has bring me numerous international best actress awards. In 2020 I was chosen one of the ten Shooting Stars at Berlinale International Film Festival. “Phi 1.618” (dir. Theodore Ushev, 2022), “Whole” (dir. Slava Doytcheva, 2018), “With river at heart” (TV series, 2022), are among my favourite roles. I also work as acting-coach in film productions. Since May 2025 I am a member of the Eruopean Film Academy.
