I am currently working as a Project Manager in a multinational company based in Oxford, UK and I am travelling a lot due to my activity as a speaker at international conferences on human rights, cooperation and development, international migration, etc. I am highly interested in the European Policy, I am definitely an euro-optimist, I feel European, I breath European…and yes, my friends say I am an authentic EU freaky.

I consider GRSPSociety is an innovative association which aims very high and I am pleased to be part of an efficient team working internationally for Romania´s development and modernization.
