While astronauts might launch into space, Sesil has launched into ISSI with equal amounts of precision, energy, and cosmic curiosity — and we could not be happier to have her on board.
From the Arts to Accounts
Sesil did not always see herself in finance. As a child, she was more likely to be found twirling in a dance studio than crunching numbers at a desk. Music, movement, and performance were her early interests. But like any good orbit, she eventually found herself drawn in by math, precision, and analytical thinking.
“Finance struck the perfect balance between logic, problem-solving, and real-world impact”, she says — and we must admit, that sounds a lot like science, too!
A Galactic Family Connection
While Sesil modestly claims she has “no real relation to space science”, we have done our detective work. She is technically connected to neutrino science by marriage — and since neutrinos zip through the cosmos as freely as ideas fly around ISSI meeting rooms, we are calling it: Sesil is one of us. 😉
Her favourite cosmic object? The Milky Way Galaxy, naturally. After all, it is home to us all — and like any good accountant, Sesil has her eyes on the big picture.
Down-to-Earth… in Bern
When she is not keeping ISSI’s finances in tidy alignment, you will find Sesil enjoying the earthly beauty of Bern — especially the Old Town, her favourite place to wander, reflect, and recharge.
And what dish would she bring to our beloved ISSI lunch table to give us a taste of home? Moussaka, Bulgarian-style. – Yes, please!
Soundtrack to a Productive Day
Step into Sesil’s office on ISSI’s fourth floor, and you might just be treated to the uplifting sounds of Bulgarian folklore music — guaranteed to lift the spirits and maybe even inspire a spontaneous hallway dance (you have been warned).
If She Could Wave a Wand Over Academia…
Though not from the academic world herself, Sesil has thoughtful insights about how to improve the academic galaxy.
“I’d streamline bureaucratic structures and close the gap between academic content and real-world application”, she suggests.
In short: more clarity, less red tape, and an academic experience that is as useful as it is inspiring. Sounds like someone who knows a thing or two about optimising systems — just what we love in an Accountant!
Welcome to ISSI, Sesil!
At ISSI, we believe in bringing together bright minds from around the world — not just to explore the Universe, but to support each other as people. In Sesil, we have found not only a stellar finance expert, but also a creative, thoughtful, and energetic colleague who fits right into our unique ISSI constellation.
Here is to precision, collaboration, and the occasional bit of Bulgarian dancing in the hallway. Welcome aboard, Sesil! 🚀🌍📚
