About me
MA Media and Culture student, with a solid background in Visual Arts, Architecture Studies and Design (gymnasium and high-school) I have a BA degree in Modern Languages and Literature, English and Italian. I have talent, a rich culture, a very creative mind and I am fluent in 3 languages (Romanian, English and Italian). I also have outstanding numerical abilities, I am quite good at detail work and I am totally reliable when it comes to work overall, as one of my previous bosses told me. I am hardworking, using my brain and talents. I am interested in joining a company where my skills and experience are in best light and where I feel appreciated for the things I do the best.

    Graduating with Merit Award, I developed extensively my writing skills. I also learnt how to: • identify and select research methods in the study of media and culture and make summaries; • to apply theories to practical examples by using methods rigorously, critically, and ethically; • select, use and modify appropriate styles and modes of communication with a clear understanding of audience; • present evidence to support a clear argument in written and oral forms.

    Due to outstanding academic performance, I was exempted from the tuition fee all 3 years. I studied subjects such Contemporary English and Italian languages, literature and cultures. I was the best at the Translation Studies, being very passionate about words origins in a language (etymology). My written thesis was on Italian grammar topic, Le forme pronominali allocutive (The forms of the pronouns that we use when addressing to someone) which was marked with 8,75 out of 10.00. Since the graduation I improved considerably my linguistic skills, especially since relocating to UK.
