I think taking the risk and going to study abroad was one of the best decisions of my life because it changed me.

Why did you choose this field?

My decision to study International Communication Management was very unexpected, because all my life I thought I wanted to be a doctor, but then in my last year of high school I changed my mind. I was always active, and during high school, I was part of an NGO, Interact Bucuresti OCTO, where I first was a member and then I became the PR director between 2020-2021, and that is how I found my passion for communication.

I made the decision to switch to a math and computer science program in 10th grade, and I liked the subjects taught there way more as I was able to use my problem solving skills rather than rely on my memory (I was studying natural sciences to become a doctor). I participated in a CS olympiad and a Marquardt competition.
