After having graduated the AEA in 2003 it was a tough choice what I wanted to do. My dream was to go to university either studying automotive design or business studies. Anyhow, it took me weeks to decide that what I really wanted to do is business studies rather than automotive design. The most difficult and time consuming job was to search and apply for universities that I wanted to study in. I ended up with 3 choices of which were the Hawaii Pacific University (USA), University of Wales (UK) and an American University in Germany. I chose the University of Wales in Newport as I already had friends and family living there. I must say that going there was the best choice I've made. At the time I was 17 years old and was the youngest university student there. I was accepted to the Foundation in Business course at first which was a 1 year course after which I completed my bachelor (BSc) in Marketing degree which I graduated in 2007. I knew that having just a bachelor degree wasn't enough if I wanted to be successful in life. Therefore, straight after my graduation I completed a Master's Degree in Business Administration (M.B.A.) with additional specialization in Human Resource Management which I graduated in 2009.

 

The best things of all during my studies was that I was able to work and gain a great working experience from an early age. I had the chance to work for Nestle UK as a Baker Operative, LG Electronics as a Quality Controller and the Royal Bank of Scotland as a Level B Debt Management.

 

After my graduation from university and thanks to my work experience in the UK I am now working at the United Bulgarian Bank in the area of problematic and turbulent mortgages.

If it wasn't the AEA I was probably not going to achieve any of this.
