I grew up in Sibiu, in a family of educators, an environment that shaped my values and outlook on life. I am a proud Transylvanian, a simple person with a deep passion for education, both inside and outside the classroom. For me, the role of a teacher goes beyond transmitting knowledge; it is about guidance, empathy, and nurturing curiosity. I firmly believe that students are our most sincere conversation partners and deserve our full dedication so that they can confidently choose their own paths in life.

My academic journey began at the “Andrei Șaguna” Pedagogical High School, where I studied Philology, and continued at the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Faculty of Letters and Arts, where I specialised in Applied Modern Languages (French and English). Before dedicating myself to formal education, I enriched my experience by working with children in camps and educational centres, places where I came to appreciate the value of non-formal education. I later taught in an international school, and in 2015, I enthusiastically joined the Avenor team as a French teacher.

As the leader of the MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) Department, I coordinate a team focused on building meaningful connections between the British and Romanian educational systems. Learning a foreign language becomes truly valuable when it is put into practice. That is why we actively promote interactions with native speakers, international trips, and projects in which foreign languages become tools for social interaction and cultural exchange. Our students successfully obtain internationally recognised qualifications such as DELF, DELE, and the Goethe-Zertifikat. One of our most valued collaborations is with the Media Library of the French Institute in Bucharest, which has provided us with access to unique digital resources and activities. We are also excited about the new partnership we are developing with the Cervantes Institute.

Beyond the classroom, I am actively involved in rural communities and heritage initiatives. I coordinate the meaningful partnership between Avenor and the Tășuleasa Social Association, through which we encourage students to discover the spirit of volunteering and the importance of learning through nature. Whether we participate in work camps dedicated to restoration and conservation projects or hike along the Via Transilvanica trail, our goal is to reconnect with rural communities and help keep traditions alive. I also believe in the bridges that can be built between children from diverse backgrounds; we facilitate valuable cultural and academic exchanges with schools both in Romania and abroad, including schools in Spain and Germany, where students also experience life with host families.

In the 2026 – 2027 academic year, I am delighted to take on a new role as the form tutor of Grade 5 Alpha. I hope to build a warm and harmonious relationship with these students and guide them through the wonderful years of lower secondary school. I would like my Transylvanian spirit to bring a calmer rhythm to their lives, reminding them that the most beautiful things are built and experienced with patience rather than haste, and that, above all, we should never forget to be kind and human with one another.

My dream at Avenor is to take these values further into the world, contributing to the protection of communities and to the education of a conscious, empathetic, and generous generation.
