ABOUT ME

French - B2 Level

Turkish - Beginner

​

Born in a small city in the southern lands of Romania, not far away from the birth-place of Brancusi, I have been raised with love for art and nature, and to see and value beauty in everything that surrounds me. Curious and adventurous by nature, I always seek to experience new things, from scientific research to cultures and emotions. I am transparent and always improving myself. I am fluent in Romanian and English, where I have a CEFR Level 1. I also have a B2 level in French, and understand Turkish at a conversational level. 

​

I particularly enjoy the universal language of architecture, the fact that it offers a stage to promote principles which concern the ethical, religious, artistic, technological, scientific etc. cores of the humanity and implicitly, of the planet. It has the power to influence the course of life in a significant and positive manner, something which I always desired to be a part of.

​

I am an aspirational, and creative spirit looking for a job as  Part 1 Architectural Assistant. I am enthusiast to the idea of contributing to some real-life projects!
