Summary

Motivated and people oriented professional with a diverse background in teaching, laboratory work, and massage therapy. Experienced in communicating clearly, staying calm under pressure, and working with people from all walks of life. Known for being patient, responsible, and attentive to detail. My time as a teacher strengthened my ability to manage groups and handle unexpected situations, while my work in massage and health gave me a strong foundation in empathy, physical awareness, and customer care. I’m now excited to bring these skills into a dynamic and service-focused role as a cabin crew member.

Work History

Biology Science Teacher

American School Macedonia
09.2023 - Current

I teach biology to 9th-grade students and constantly work on explaining complex topics in a way that’s clear and engaging.


I manage the classroom, keep students focused, and adapt to different personalities and moods every day. This helps me stay calm under pressure and communicate effectively with a wide range of people.


I plan lessons, create tests, and handle a lot of unexpected situations from questions that go completely off-topic to sudden changes in the schedule. I often work with colleagues to organize school projects or events, and I’ve learned how important teamwork and flexibility are in keeping things running smoothly.


Through this job, I develop strong interpersonal skills, patience, and the ability to stay professional while creating a positive and respectful atmosphere—qualities I believe are very important for working as cabin crew.

Biochemistry Lab Technician

Polyclinic Jane Sandanski
06.2017 - 09.2018

*I completed an internship at a state-run polyclinic where I gained practical experience conducting biochemical assays and laboratory testing. Since it was a public institution with strict employment policies, I wasn’t issued an official contract, but I was actively involved in lab operations and contributed fully as part of the team.


I worked in a lab doing biochemical assays, testing samples to measure things like enzyme activity, protein levels, and other chemicals. Mostly I prepared reagents, ran tests using machines and manual methods, and recorded results carefully. Sometimes I had to troubleshoot when things didn’t go as planned or equipment wasn’t working properly.

I followed safety protocols strictly since the chemicals could be dangerous, and kept the workspace clean and organized. I also helped with data entry and occasionally assisted other team members with experiments. The job required a lot of attention to detail and patience because accuracy was really important for reliable results.

I started cycling in 2018 as a hobby and it has grown on me so much over the years, I love the feeling it gives me during and post the ride.

Started getting interested in cooking in 2017, learning how to bake bread and then it trickled into the diverse cuisines of the world.
