About Me
I am instructor in the NAU School of Communication. I am also photographer and filmmaker. My areas of research include social dynamics, based on global migration, transnationalism and migrant integration, and working with indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. My transnational team develops a long-term experimental visual research "New Roots" in Vienna, Austria with the support of the UN Refugee Agency and EGA - The Women’s Center of Vienna. My collaborative documentary films have been screened in the United States, France, Germany, and Austria. I have opened three personal photo exhibitions, including 2010's, "Earth Day", held at "Earth and Men" National Museum, Sofia, Bulgaria, 2008’s, "The Treasures of the Garden", held at Sofia University Botanical Garden in Balchik, Bulgaria, and 2007’s “Out Of The Way”, held at City Library, Sofia, Bulgaria. My photography work has been published in different media in Europe and the United States, including the Arizona Highways magazine, and a permanent installation at Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. As a former twenty-year solo dancer for the international traveling Bulgarian dance company, “Shopski”, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, and Asia.
