I am a PhD student at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I will be on the academic 2023-2024 job market.

My research primarily centers on understanding the impact of financial reporting rules for bank stability and credit cycles. I have a growing interest in corporate social responsibility research, especially related to gender inequality. I explore how informational frictions and behavioral biases shape market outcomes, and aim to provide practical insights and policy implications. I am mainly interested in theory and theory-based research, which I often combine with other methods. 

Prior to pursuing a PhD, I worked as a macroeconomist at the Ministry of Finance's Agency for Economic Analysis and Forecasting in Bulgaria. I also worked as an analytics consultant at Experian where I specialized in economic modelling, credit risk, stress testing and IFRS 9.

I hold MA degree in Social Sciences from University of Chicago, MPhil Economics from the University of Oxford, and BSc Economics from Sofia University.

Beyond academia, I love spending time with my family, painting, hiking, and dancing.
