I love to learn, write, speak, spread ideas. I am a mother and I enjoy to be surrounded by people.

I am passionate about the beauty in each and every one of us, the beauty present in the places we visit, the things we admire or the people we love.

An idea worth spreading is that spiritual fulfillment is strongly connected to the people around us. Every occasion on which I felt spiritually fulfilled had nothing to do with the ways I prayed or how I approached meditation , but rather with someone's life getting a bit better as a result of my help. I felt it when the passion for my work started to guide more and more warm smiles towards me, when my stories convinced people to ask more questions, or when an interaction with me inspired them to discover a better version of themselves

I am passionate about positive social movements that aim to give, not take, from the harmony of what society came to be. This is why I love TED. It's a movement for spreading ideas, a way of revolutionising the way we take in and process information. Therefore, I feel both honoured and happy because of this opportunity to be a part of the TEDx Floreasca team.
