I am a freelance journalist with ten years of hosting experience, both in long term contracts and short stays, in a studio I own in the Vatra Luminoasa residential district of Bucharest. I also am a detail oriented person, which makes for both great journalism and great cleanliness, which was the first quality all my guests noted in their reviews. In my 20+-year long career in print, online and radio journalism, I covered a wide range of issues, from business, politics and culture, to technology and media, and from transatlantic relations to the war on terror. Since 1999 I worked as a freelancer for the Associated Press, Haaretz, Transitions Online, Deutsche Welle Radio, and International Relations & Security Network, among many others. I hold three masters degrees: one in European affairs, one in political sciences, and one in Electrical Engineering, respectively. When I started journalism, I started big, for I was about to change the world. I still toil towards that goal, but before going big, I stay small, with the people around me, those that I can actually reach, and with the stories right under my nose, those that I can really talk and write about. I also try with my community work to protect the young, the elderly and the animals, for they all have very little or no choice to make.
