about me
I’ve embraced diverse paths and challenges throughout my life, each one shaping my unique perspective. My Romanian roots, a drive for excellence, and a commitment to meaningful growth have guided me across disciplines, bringing richness and depth to everything I do.
Some highlights from my journey:- Education: My educational foundation includes a BA in Physical Fitness, a BA in European Studies, and a 3-year degree in Interior Design, which refined my creative and technical skills. - Athletic Achievements: As a multiple Romanian national champion in the 100m dash, I learned the value of focus, resilience, and perseverance—qualities that fuel every aspect of my life.- Interior Design: I’ve completed residential projects across three countries, combining cultural influences with my clients’ unique needs. I’ve also shared my insights through 300+ blog posts on design and aesthetics. - Entrepreneurial Spirit: At just 19, while still a college student, I launched my first business—a fitness studio—while graduating as valedictorian. Later, I founded a modeling agency, followed by ventures in advertising and event planning, each reflecting my passion for crafting meaningful experiences and bringing creative visions to life.- Creative Vision: My artistic journey includes curating my own pop-up gallery in Los Altos, CA, where I showcased my original paintings, merging emotion and storytelling through art.- Holistic Practices: I’m trained in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Life Coaching, Mindfulness, Breathwork, and Energy Healing, weaving these approaches into everything I create to foster balance and growth.- Community Building: I’ve hosted 60+ Conversation & Art Appreciation Salons, sparking meaningful dialogue on art, politics, life, and society.- Educator: I devoted eight years to homeschooling my daughter, nurturing creativity and discipline while exploring personalized learning.

A Journey of Renewal
In recent years, I’ve navigated profound personal transformation, including a life-altering divorce that reshaped my perspective. After a year of healing in my home country, I returned to the U.S. in August 2024 with renewed strength and purpose, ready to embrace a new chapter. These experiences deepened my empathy and enriched my understanding of resilience and change.
This website is a reflection of my journey—a celebration of creativity, growth, and connection. It’s a space where the diverse threads of my life come together, offering a glimpse into who I am and the world I strive to create.
Running barefoot on sandy shores is my way of connecting with strength, freedom, and the beauty of nature.
