Iva
Iva's first encounter with the magic of travel is on train trips to Greece and Italy with a group of kids as part of summer art camps. Iva was only eight at that time, but the memories would fire up her imagination and dreams so much that she would pursue her studies in Tourism.
Raised in a family of doctors and dentists, Iva knows her life path will differ. After graduating high school, she enrols for a Bachelor's degree in Tourism Management at the New Bulgarian University. Academic life opens a wide door of opportunities to study, work and travel abroad, and Iva takes the chance, starting with the United States.
In 2012, she moved to Lapland for six months as part of a student exchange programme, which allowed her to travel to Finland, Norway and Sweden, completely immersing herself in the northern life and culture.
Later, Iva earns a Master's degree in Tourism Economics in Italy, where she spends two of the most memorable years of her life. At the end of her studies, she takes on another exchange programme, embarking on a new journey to Ireland.
Little does she know that she'll fall in love with Éire. After two years of building her career in digital marketing as part of a Dublin-based software company, Iva returns to Bulgaria to start her marketing business and later sets up Dentaround.
Education and Experience
Iva holds a BA in Tourism Management from the New Bulgarian University and a MA in Tourism Economics from Università di Bologna. Over the years, she has worked in various areas of the travel industry, from hospitality to entertainment at home, in Italy and the United States.
A citizen of the world with a diverse background, Iva knows how to deliver the best in class service while improving global patients' access to dental care.
