I have a degree in Journalism from the University of Bucharest.


Print press and web publishing

I worked as editor and editor in chief for the IT industry magazine Computerworld Romania, both for the print issue and online content.


I also edited books and other short publications for a non-profit involved in supporting and empowering Romanian women active in politics and business.


Translation work

I translated two non-fiction from English into Romanian:

- O istorie a Indiei (A History of India), by Hermann Kulke and Dietmar Rothermund, ARTEMIS, Bucharest 2003; See the English version on Amazon.

- Capcane pentru turisti (Tourist Trap), by Patrick Blackden, SEMNE, Bucharest 2004.; See the English version on Amazon.


I also did the translation for a production of Neil Simon’s Biloxi Blues, which premiered on the stage of the Bucharest Comedy Theatre in November 2006, under the direction of Iarina Demian. You can watch a trailer of the production on YouTube.


These days, besides writing fiction, and writing and translating poetry, I have been busy doing some freelance editing and little handmade things.

A little more

about me


I was born in Romania and spent most of my childhood in the small, well-dressed and always young town of Focsani. That is what I call home.


I lived in Bucharest also, for almost ten years, while I went to college and worked various jobs. Then my life suffered two enormous transfigurations: I met my husband (online) and moved to US to be with him, and then my daughter was born.


I am daily finding my ways in this new picture, broken in two pieces: one living here, in the Boston suburbs, with my Indian husband and American daughter, and another one back home in Romania, with my family and irreplaceable friends. A good piece of me (don’t try any math on this) longs for India too, where my husband’s family lives, making it home too.


So I write, while I weave, with my family, a path of our own out of the cultures of three continents. I try to stay on my path and live my life with as much joy and awareness as I can muster -- which is many times not that much, so send all the spiritual books my way, because I’d believe anything, so they tend to have great effect on me.
