About Athlete

I have been playing golf since I was 8 years old and I have been a member of The Bulgarian Mens National Team since 2015. This year I competed in the USA for my first time and I really enjoyed it so I will come again this winter.

I am a student in the French High School “Alfonse de Lamartine”, which is in the top five schools in Bulgaria. I am also the leader of my class, and I am involved in many school and out of school activities.

I am fluent in English, French and Bulgarian.
