Maria  Iliycheva

Summary of qualifications

I am a result-oriented professional with a diverse academic background. My educational career allowed me to further develop my linguistic skills. Thus, I possess an excellent command of English, Bulgarian (native speaker) and Russian. At the same time, I am advanced in Polish, French and Serbian.

The academic environment determined me to improve my strategic thinking, analytical skills as well as my communicational abilities. This is the reason for which I have served as a translator in a number of private Bulgarian and international companies.
