My biggest passion are people! I love to know them, read them, interact with them and especially to make them smile and become the best version of themselves. I have always dreamed about becoming a teacher, and later on realized that people can be taught with ease, as long as you have the skills and knowledge to reach them, without needing to make a job out of this. Training and teaching has been a big part of my life ever since I can remember and no matter what job I had, I always found a way to give as much knowledge as possible to the ones around me. A PR girl working in IT might come as a surprise but I strongly believe that anyone can become anything their heart desires as long as they work into it. And also life has its surprising ways of putting us in places we did not expect to be in. I can go on and on talking about life, people, books, music and movies but from time to time I prefer both to listen as this brings so many learning opportunities and to rest in pure silence as there are the moments that awaken my creativity.

If you leave a little bit of "you" (words, ideas, smiles, attitudes) with every person that you meet and take a little bit of "them" in return, you will become a very rich and enlightened person.

I've been listening to TED talks for quite some time now, as I am really interested in education, self development, new ideas, innovation. After working for a while with an association that supports women entrepreneurs, I started thinking about getting involved in organising a TEDx Women. While trying to buy tickets as a prize for a competition held at my office, I got to meet the TEDxBrasov curator, Tibi Ruczui. One thing led to the other and I told him about my idea of having a TEDxBrasovWomen event. He offered his support and this is how I got to organise the first TEDx dedicated to women from Brașov. I had a blast, got to meet wonderful people, learnt many interesting things and got in touch with the real TEDx feelings from behind the scenes. I'm looking forward to doing it again!
