- Mathematics competitions
As a former mathematics contestant, during my elementary and high school years, I find the mathematics competitions being very important for increasing the level of mathematical abilities among young students. Now, I am a member of the Union of Mathematicians of Macedonia which is responsible for organizing the National Mathematics Competitions and variety of mathematics international competitions when held in Macedonia. During the period 2000-2008, I was also a member of the Selection Problem Committee for the National Mathematics Competitions for elementary and high school students. My contributions to International Mathematics Competitions are the following: Coordinator at JBMO 2000 held Ohrid, Macedonia, Leader of the Macedonian team at JBMO 2002 held in Tirgu Mures, Romania, Leader of the Macedonian team at IMO 2003 held in Tokyo, Japan, Leader of the Macedonian team at BMO 2005 held in Iasi, Romania, Coordinator at JBMO 2014 held in Ohrid, Macedonia, Coordinator at SEEMOUS 2015 held in Ohrid, Macedonia, Coordinator at SEEMOUS 2017 held in Ohrid, Macedonia and Coordinator at BMO 2017 held in Ohrid, Macedonia.
- Popular mathematics
Having the mathematics all around us has inevitable impact on me in increasing the will to write about mathematics and mathematical beauties whenever I have time. This results in becoming a member of the Editorial Board of the popular mathematics publication for elementary school students "Numerus", and a member of the Editorial Board of the popular mathematics publication for high school students "Sigma" (both in Macedonian). Since 2014, I am also one of the Editors of the mathematics portal POIM (in Macedonian). And since 2015, I am one of the Editors of the mathematics website Matematika + (in Macedonian). Since 2016, I occasionally update my blog sites Math At 730 (in English), a blog with math problems for elementary, middle school and high school students, and Beautiful Math (in English), a personal blog about "mathematics and things related to mathematics". Since 2017, I am one of the Editors of the popular mathematics publication "Matematicki omnibus" (in Macedonian).

- Career Center
From its beginning in 2014, I am responsible for the Career Center at Department of Mathematics. My activities involve: organizing Career Fairs and Internships for math students, and managing the list with Department of Mathematics' Alumni. I am trying to help math students in finding the most suitable Internship, and later in finding the job that suits them the most. I hope that we are not too far from the moment when the industry sector in our country will recognize and appreciate better the mathematician as a potential employee, since mathematicians are qualified to do a variety of jobs.
