I am a budding journalist at the American University in Bulgaria who takes interest in enterprise storytelling and documentary filmmaking. I enjoy dabbling in human interest stories and presenting them to the broad world in both written and video form. I have penned a 5,000-word feature on a Bulgarian Roma who has struggled to provide for her ever growing family amid a raging economic crisis in Eastern Europe. My immersion in the Roma community led to a short documentary on a lavish Roma wedding in a small Bulgarian town that explores the collision between centuries-old customs and modern lifestyle. The documentary was produced, directed, shot and edited in the span of a moth together with a college partner in the fall of 2014. I have also shot and edited for a longshort documentary that examines how Communism in Bulgaria molded the lives of two men with vastly disparate lifestyles and value systems.
