Lina was her nickname because many people in America could not pronounce Tzvetelina. What made her unique was her light green eye color and her hairstyle. She liked her hair to be free with no ponytails or hair products. She had a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. She loved soccer / football so much. When she found the time she would take a soccer ball, do tricks and scrambled anyone who tried to get it from her. Everyone was unsuccessful. She loved her job but always wanted to be an Archaeologist at heart. She talked about how she wanted to explore the past and quote "discover different things". She always taught her children to be strong no matter what. Every hardship she faced she pulled through. Lina also had some hidden talents. Drawing, crafting, and cooking.
