About Me

I am a second-year student in Communications for Defense and Security at the Military Technical Academy "Ferdinand I" in Bucharest, with a strong academic background spanning programming, networking, electronics, and signal processing.

As Secretary General of AS_ATM for a second consecutive mandate, I have been responsible for the full legal and administrative formalization of the association — drafting and registering statutory documents with judicial authorities, building a complete document management system from scratch, elaborating the Internal Order Regulation and the Ethics Commission Regulation, managing volunteer and membership registries in compliance with Romanian nonprofit law (O.G. 26/2000) and GDPR, and developing the association's official website. I coordinate five departments and oversee a growing community of active volunteers.

I have participated in international programmes including two Erasmus+ mobilities, a CSDP module with the European Security and Defence College, and I am currently attending a Cyber Security Summer Camp at Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. Outside of academia, I am passionate about fashion, photography, and writing.
