Meet Natalia Svetozarova, Talent Success Specialist
Can you explain as simply as possible what you do at Telerik Academy?
I look for talented people. My job allows me to meet exceptional and fascinating people who could become valuable pieces of Telerik Academy's team. Besides finding the best fit for each team, I support the team in various ways, such as our Wellbeing program and all its elements.
What is your favorite part of your job?
My job is very versatile, including all sorts of tasks and responsibilities. I love that it allows me to be creative in a logical way in most things I do. I have the opportunity to talk to different people, from students to potential candidates to company representatives, and finding a way to present any information engagingly is what I am most excited about.
What is the last book you read?
"1984" - I hopped on the trend out of curiosity, but I absolutely loved the whole book and theme - the way the message is conveyed, and all the subtle little details the book includes are fascinating.
Tell us one curious fact about you:
I practice tattooing as a hobby, and I love street food. (Sorry, it's two curious things, I couldn't choose just one.)
Meet Presiyan Kashev, Junior Administrator - Learning Platforms
Can you explain as simply as possible what you do at Telerik Academy?
In short, I am responsible for all the learning platforms we use in our programs and for enhancing the learning experience for the participants.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Constantly bettering the things we do and helping develop future tech leaders.
What is the last book you read?
"This Poison Heart" by Kalynn Bayron. Its main characters are very diverse, and the book follows their adventure without making their differences the focal point but embracing them.
Tell us one curious fact about you:
I'm a national First Aid instructor. When I was 15, I started volunteering at The Red Cross and fell in love with First Aid. From then, I developed my skills at a national level and have taught many people from various backgrounds. I still get messages from past students telling me they helped somebody in need. That warms my heart, and even though I don't have much time nowadays, I still try to volunteer and teach First Aid. A few months back, I led a Knowledge Sharing session for my colleagues about First Aid in the workplace.
We're incredibly proud of our team and the work they do each day. Stay tuned for our next blog post from this series, where you'll get to know more colleagues from our team.
