I am an Eastern - European actress, a Romanian -  Jewish - Italian mixer,  originally from Transylvania, currently traveling back and forth between Bucharest and LA, where I was based for 7 years and where I also met an amateur but very talented guitar player and poet/ marine and S.W.A.T. team leader - yes such men exist :)  - which is currently my husband.
I  love rides from horses to amusement parks, I love to dance Argentinian tango and to sing jazz and ethnic music. I also love changes, which is the reason why I lived briefly in all kinds of places, from Pakistan to Madagascar and from Thailand to Uganda and Cambodia. 

My dad taught me about politics and how to flip crepes in the air and my mum taught me how to wear perfume and be brave.  From them I also learned that is important to make a difference. I thought acting was the best way to go about it.
 
I had my first professional show in my third BFA year and my first director was coincidently or not American and a Fulbright Alumni, as I would one day be. Following graduation I became a member of the newest Romanian Regional Theater, Tony Bulandra. I performed there for about 3 years in which I had a complete experience of what repertory theatre means from 10 hours daily rehearsals, to both matinee  and evening shows and national and international touring. 
 
For another 2 years I worked in television, as a reporter and hostess for some popular entertainment shows at TVR, the national public television, while also studying political sciences at SNSPA, Bucharest where I completed a Master Program in 2005. Those were the pioneering years, the years where I first set foot on film and tv sets and also on stages of independent venues, where I had another complete experience of what fringe and off theater means.
 
In 2011 my love for changes made me apply for a Fulbright Grant to study musical theatre in US. But as  'life happens to you when you are bussy making other plans' -  to quote John Lennon - I ended up doing an MFA in acting at USC. During those 3 years I had the most thrilling, intensive and challenging  training an actor could possibly get. I also eat a lot of Korean Barbecue, my absolute favourite type of food in the whole world.  
 
In U.S I played from classical theatre in verse, Greek tragedy and modern American theatre to devised theatre and solo performance under the direction of some  of the most prominent stage directors that the West Coast has to offer. I also did several indie features, shorts and tv pilots, but the most fun I had was while working as  a series regular in a semi-scripted improv half - hour comedy series.
​
In 2018 I returned in Romania excited to pay forward all the knowledge I accumulated in my American journey so besides performing, I started teaching at different acting schools, including UNATC, the university where I completed my BFA and where I am currently holding acting for camera classes. 
​
In my quest to make a difference, I started exploring beyond my condition as an actress. I wrote and directed a short film that was selected in several festivals and won few important awards and I wrote my PHD thesis, which explores the differences  between the American and European acting styles and teaching methods, which I am about to transform into a book.
