Assistant Librarian
About me: Originally from Bulgaria, I moved to Newcastle in 2013 and to Edinburgh in 2017. I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an MSc in Book History and Material Culture. Before joining the SPL, I worked for different heritage institutions in Edinburgh such as Historic Environment Scotland and the Signet Library. I am a Chartered member of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) and a committee member for CILIP’s Disability network. I am also on the Board of Trustees for CILIP Scotland.

When not at work I’m playing video games, working on art projects and spoiling my cat rotten.
