I’m a Romanian journalist and researcher reporting on business, technology, management culture and foreign affairs.

I work for Lead Stories, a US fact-checking organisation, working on a disinformation and fact-checking project for TikTok. I’ve been a Reporter for Panorama, an award-winning multimedia business journalism platform and a Marcin Król Fellow at Visegrad Insight, the main Central European platform of debate and analysis.

As a freelance journalist, my work appeared in Foreign Policy, Sifted (a tech and startups publication backed by the Financial Times), Balkan Insight, Focus Magazin and Good Beer Hunting among others.

In my work, I employ rigorous research and investigative methods, and unique storytelling techniques, to produce human-led long forms, features, profiles and interviews, as well as snappy news pieces and informative explainers.

I’ve been involved in local and regional projects for Balkan Investigative Reporting Network and the German Marshall Fund, on topics ranging from geopolitics to social issues, macroeconomics, electoral monitoring and foreign policy.

I speak Romanian, English, German and French. I earned my double bachelor’s in history and politics from Queen Mary University of London, and my master’s in terrorism and political violence from University of St Andrews.
