PhD in Philosophy of Mind | Academic Writer, Editor & Thesis Reviewer | PR & Science Communication Consultant

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Philosophy, specializing in Philosophy of Mind, with particular expertise in the Philosophy of Language, Cognitive Linguistics, and the study of consciousness and unconscious cognitive processes. My doctoral research bridges Analytic Philosophy of Mind with contemporary theories of embodied cognition and predictive processing. I have extensive experience reviewing bachelor's and master's theses in philosophy, and I offer academic writing, editing, and consulting services for research papers, dissertations, and literature reviews in philosophy, cognitive science, and linguistics. Beyond academia, I bring over 15 years of experience as a journalist for newspapers, online media, and Bulgarian National Radio, as well as in public relations — including organizational assessment for the development of PR campaigns (business-oriented and social) and multiple award-winning campaigns, some with national and international recognition. This combination allows me to support projects requiring both rigorous academic analysis and clear, effective communication to non-specialist audiences. I am available for: thesis and manuscript review, academic writing and editing, literature reviews, research consulting in philosophy of mind/language and cognitive linguistics, science/research communication consulting, and media and PR writing. - Bachelor's Degree in Bulgarian Philology from Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" - Master's Degree in Philosophy from Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" - PhD in Philosophy (specialization: Philosophy of Mind), Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" - Professional qualifications in teaching in middle and highshool in the subjects: Bulgarian Language and Literature; and Philosophy - Research interests in: - Philosophy of Mind and Language, with a focus on embodied and unconscious cognition, extending to questions about meaning, consciousness, and Artificial Intelligence - Analytic Philosophy of Mind - Neurophilosophy - Cognitive Science - Cognitive Linguistics - Hard problem of consciousness - Philosophical aspects of AI - Mind and AI - AI Ethics
