Ivana Georgieva-Anderson

In conjunction with co-founding Complete Writing Solutions, Ivana Georgieva-Anderson also has a passion for hand-crafted goods, which can be seen through her company, IVEGA Designs. Her love for all things hand-made led her to pursue a side-career in hand-crafted items, which she herself makes. From hand-made jewelery to birdhouses to picture frames and jewelery boxes to china sets and more, her love for designing and creating art has long been a driving force behind her pursuit of excellence. She sells most of her goods locally.

While in the United States, Ivana was the primary bookkeeper for Anderson Tile Company, Inc. from 2005 until 2007. During this time she also helped with the design of projects and was enrolled at Aims Community College, where she pursued a B.A. in Business Administration.

Back in Bulgaria, Ivana has continued her B.A. at the University of Portsmouth in Sofia, Bulgaria. The University of Portsmouth is considered the 5th most popular school in the European Union, and The Times Good University Guide–publisher of the annual league tables for U.K. universities–has ranked the University as the 6th best modern university in the U.K., and 60th in the European Union. For the 2010 rankings the University has placed at 56th out of 118 U.K. universities total in the league tables. She will be pursuing her MBA at the University.

In addition to her work as a student and her hand-crafted store, Ivana works at Panderma, a dermatology clinic. She has been with the company since February of 2008 and is a practicing cosmetologist who specializes in skin care and laser therapy. Ivana has performed a variety of translations and written cosmetology-related articles for Panderma in conjunction with her work as a practicing skin care technician.

She is currently teaching ESL classes for the online TOEFL exam at Drujba.

In addition to her many other jobs, Ivana has a passion for traveling that has seen her explore many parts of Europe over the past decade. Along with her husband, she has been to Turkey, Italy, Macedonia, France, Greece, Germany, England, and throughout Bulgaria. She also has a very green thumb, and enjoys gardening and growing spices in what little spare time she has. She specializes in writing about gardening, beauty and skin care products and procedures, travel, crafting, pottery, and cats.
