Summary

At 23, I have three years of experience as a manager in a massive wood carpentry company. A graduate of the prestigious "Dragoș Vodă" National College, with a focus on humanities and intensive English, I am passionate about the digital world, art, foreign languages, literature, and sports. My love for languages enables me to communicate flexibly and manage diverse teams, while literature sharpens my critical thinking and decision-making skills. Sports have instilled discipline, perseverance, and teamwork in me, qualities I apply daily in managing teams and projects. My background in art fuels my creativity, helping me find innovative solutions, and my passion for digital technologies keeps me adaptable, allowing me to stay ahead of industry trends and implement efficient strategies. Always open to new challenges, I thrive in dynamic environments and constantly seek opportunities to step out of my comfort zone.

Affiliations

Studying a humanities profile has greatly shaped my social charisma and developed my thinking and communication skills. Reading books with philosophical undertones and deeper meanings, as well as my passion for music with a deep message, have contributed to my early development in terms of how I approach situations with depth. Whenever I can, I prioritize spending time with loved ones, but I also focus on personal growth and use my time proactively.
